How simple is this HEALTHY and TASTY PIZZA?

THE MOST HEALTHY PIZZA

Read this one till the end as it contains the special recipe for the healthiest pizza.

It’s loaded with veggies and sprinkled with Parmesan, with a tangy bold red sauce and a thin crust. Yes, this is the BEST healthy pizza you’ll find.

We were posed with a challenge: Can you make a healthy pizza recipe? Oh, can we ever. Here’s everything about how to do it.

Here are the features of this pizza that make it healthy:

· Homemade thin crust: This pizza uses our easy thin crust pizza dough. It’s made with simple ingredients (flour, olive oil, water) and because it’s thin, it has significantly fewer calories than a fluffy crust.

· Super flavorful pizza sauce: Red sauce brings big flavor without big calories. This one is our easy pizza sauce, a fan-favorite recipe that takes only 5 minutes and tastes like Italy. (Really.)

Limited cheese. This healthy pizza has only ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese. It’s just enough to bring in a savory flavor, but there’s so much flavor in the veggies and sauce, you don’t need to load on cheese. (For a vegan pizza, head to Our Best Vegan Pizza.)
Lots of veggies. Healthy isn’t just about calories: it’s about vitamins and nutrients. This pizza is topped with peppers that are loaded with vitamin C, and leafy green nutrient-dense baby arugula.

How many calories? One slice of this healthy pizza recipe is 96 calories. Only 96 calories! That’s about ⅓ the calories of a delivery pizza. Even better, it’s got the added vitamins and nutrients of fresh, colorful veggies. Dinnertime win!

Tips:

Use a pizza stone. Pizza peels are handy.
Accessorize with salad & fruit.
Make the dough 1 hour before serving, OR make it in advance.
Thin crust pizza dough is easy to shape: roll it!
Use Tip-o 00 flour if you can find it.

Ingredients:

· 1 ball Easy Thin Crust Dough

· ½ cup Easy Pizza Sauce

· 1/2 yellow bell pepper

· 1/2 red bell pepper

· 1/4 medium red onion

· 1 garlic clove

· 1 tablespoon olive oil

· ½ teaspoon dried oregano, plus more for garnish

· ½ tablespoon capers, drained

· ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

· ½ cup baby arugula

· Kosher salt

· Olive oil

· Semolina flour or cornmeal, for dusting the pizza peel

Instructions

Make the pizza dough: Follow the Easy Thin Crust Pizza Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500° F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here’s the pizza oven we use).
Make the pizza sauce: Make the Easy Pizza Sauce.
Prepare the toppings: Thinly slice the peppers. Thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the garlic. In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir the vegetables, stirring often, for about 7 to 10 minutes, until browned and very soft. Stir in the oregano and remove from the heat.
Bake the pizza: When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don’t have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
Spread the pizza sauce over the dough using the back of a spoon to create a thin layer. Sprinkle with the vegetables, drained capers, and Parmesan cheese.
Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven).
While the pizza is baking, mix the baby arugula with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. When the pizza is done, top with the arugula. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
