Classic Margherita Pizza with Fresh Basil
Oven-baked whole wheat crust topped with vibrant tomato sauce and bubbly fresh mozzarella, finished with fragrant basil leaves for a classic Italian experience.
INGREDIENTS
0.45 cup whole wheat flour
0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp baking powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp garlic powder
3.5 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
5 whole fresh basil leaves
0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, nonfat Greek yogurt, baking powder, and sea salt.
Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough into a thin circle, approximately 9-10 inches in diameter, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes until it is set and the edges just begin to dry out.
While the crust bakes, whisk together the tomato puree, dried oregano, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a half-inch border.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
