Build-Your-Own Pizzas

Prep Time:

55 Minutes

Serves:

4 Servings | 1 6-INCH PIZZA PER SERVING

Ingredients


  • 1 cup all-purpose flour and ¼ cup all-purpose flour, divided use

  • ½ cup whole-wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon fast-rise active dry yeast (about ½ of a ¼-ounce packet)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup warm water (110°F to 120°F)

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal

  • Cooking spray

  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato sauce

  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crumbled

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 3 cups bite-size pieces of red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms (any combination)

  • ¾ cup frozen soy-based sausage crumbles

  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese


Directions


Step 1


In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, yeast, and salt.


Step 2


In a small bowl, stir together the water, oil, and honey. Stir into the flour mixture until the dough begins to come together.


Step 3


On a large flat surface, spread the remaining ¼ cup all-purpose flour in a circle about 12 inches in diameter, with the center only lightly dusted. Turn the dough out into the center of the circle. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until elastic but still soft, working in the remaining flour from the circle as necessary to prevent sticking. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes


Step 4


Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly spray two cookie sheets with cooking spray. Dust with the cornmeal.


Step 5


In a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.


Step 6


Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each into a 6-inch circle, using any remaining flour to keep the dough from sticking. Transfer 2 crusts to each cookie sheet. Spread 1½ tablespoons sauce over each crust. Top each with ¾ cup vegetables, 3 tablespoons sausage crumbles, and ¼ cup mozzarella.


Step 7


Bake the pizzas for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the crusts are browned and crisp around the edges.
