Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat pizza base
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Baby bella mushrooms
- 1 cup Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it's preheating.
Brush the whole wheat pizza base lightly with olive oil to create a crispy crust and prevent sogginess.
Mince the garlic cloves and evenly spread them across the pizza base.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce layer.
Thinly slice the baby bella mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onion. Arrange them evenly across the pizza.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, ground black pepper, and optional crushed red chili flakes over the toppings.
Transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and the crust is cooked through.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and serve warm.
