INGREDIENTS

0.25 cup freshly milled whole wheat flour

0.25 tsp instant yeast

0.25 tsp sea salt

3 tbsp warm water

0.25 cup tomato puree

0.3 cup fat-free cottage cheese

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1.5 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 oz turkey pepperoni

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the freshly milled flour, instant yeast, and sea salt until well combined.

• 2

  Gradually stir in the warm water and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

• 3

  Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 20 minutes while preheating your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

• 4

  In a small blender or food processor, combine the tomato puree, cottage cheese, and dried oregano, blending until the mixture is silky and smooth.

• 5

  Roll the rested dough out into a thin circle on a piece of parchment paper and lightly brush the outer edge with the olive oil.

• 6

  Spread the blended protein-boosted tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

• 7

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange the turkey pepperoni slices in a single layer on top.

• 8

  Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
