Ingredients

  • Dough:
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1-1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Allergens: Milk, Wheat

Method

  1. Toppings: 1 cup no-salt-added pasta or tomato sauce 1 sliced tomato 1 cup sliced fresh spinach 1/4 cup sliced red onion 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese 1/4 tsp dried oregano to taste
  2. Mix the dry yeast with the water; then add the rest of the dough ingredients. Mix by hand or with a dough/bread machine until the dough is stretchy, about 3-5 minutes. It should be a little on the wet side but not too sticky. You might need to add more flour.
  3. Allow the dough to rise for 30-40 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Place the dough on a clean board or counter and roll out to a 10"-by-15" rectangle. Place on a cookie tray the same size that is oiled and dusted with cornmeal. Prick dough with a fork.
  4. Prebake the crust for 8 minutes.
  5. Top the crust with the sauce, tomato, spinach and onion. Top these with cheese and oregano.
  6. Bake the pizza until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted, about 8 more minutes.
  7. Cut it into 6 squares and serve hot. We recommend serving this pizza with a large green salad.
  8. You can also use 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole-wheat flour in place of the white whole wheat flour.
