Ingredients:
1 Pkg Whole wheat pizza dough
365 brand Roasted Vegetable pasta sauce (1lb, 9oz jar)
1/2 cup low-fat mozzerella cheese, shredded
2 Tblspn grated parmesan or romano cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (or red or orange or multi-color)
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 teaspoon fresh basil)
If you have a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods nearby, you can purchase pre-made whole wheat pizza dough that's ready to go and not full of junk.
Trader's Joe's has the best price at only $1.79 per package.
Spray a pizza pan or cookie sheet with a non-stick spray or dust with whole wheat flour.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll pizza dough onto pan to a very thin height
Placed spread dough on sheet into oven for 10 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes (very important - this cooks the crust so that you end up with a crispy crust and you don't end up with mushy, doughy crust after putting the ingredients on)
Use ONLY 1/2 jar of 365 brand roasted vegetable pasta sauce and spread evenly over the semi-cooked crust
Spread chopped vegetables over sauce mixture on pizza evenly.
Sprinkle shredded mozzerella cheese over pizza (hint: mozzerella is just for flavor and slight consistenly - using very little prohibits you from making a gooey, messy, pizza that is more authentic without all the greasy fat.)
Sprinkle grated parmesan or romano cheese over pizza
Sprinkly oregano and basil over pizza
Bake completed pizza at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, then place oven on broil setting and broil for 2 MINUTES ONLY to give pizza a nice light browned texture on top.
I'll be featuring this kind of pizza with variations at my vegetarian restaurant that I'll be opening next year.
Enjoy!!
