Herbs and Spices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Choose your crust base. Roll out whole wheat dough thinly on a floured surface, or grate cauliflower and mix it with cheese and eggs before pressing it into a pizza shape on a baking sheet.
  2. Add the Sauce: Spread a thin, even layer of low-sugar tomato sauce over the crust, ensuring every bite has tang and moisture without overpowering other flavors.
  3. Layer the Vegetables and Proteins: Evenly arrange your choice of fresh vegetable slices and lean protein on top of the sauce, keeping each slice balanced in texture and taste.
  4. Sprinkle Cheese and Herbs: Add a moderate amount of low-fat cheese, then sprinkle fresh herbs such as basil or oregano and cracked black pepper to boost aroma and flavor.
  5. Bake Until Crisp: Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden around the edges.

Notes

  • Pre-cook the crust briefly before adding toppings to prevent sogginess and ensure a crunchy base.
  • Add fresh herbs after baking to preserve vibrant flavors and nutritional benefits.
  • Keep toppings moderate to help the pizza cook evenly and avoid a soggy crust.
  • Experiment with alternative sauces such as pesto, hummus, or light olive oil drizzle for variety.
  • Use a sharp pizza cutter for clean slices that hold together, even with generous fresh toppings.
