Healthy Homemade Pizza

This recipe is one of our new favorites.

With homemade pizza dough (without having to wait for it to rise!) and easy, delicious sauce,

Healthy Homemade Pizza

beats any fast food college pizza place.

Oh, and pizza that is healthy and delicious?

We bet you never thought there was such a thing.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Ingredients for pizza sauce:
28 oz. can diced tomatoes (do not fully drain)
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder


Combine all ingredients into sauce pan on medium heat. Bring ingredients to boil, then lower to a simmer for approximately 10 minutes (or as long as it takes to make the dough).

For a smoother sauce, mash tomatoes.

Add sauce to pizza dough. Place mozzarella cheese and toppings on top.


Ingredients for no rise pizza dough:
1 tbsp. yeast
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup hot water
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt


In a bowl, mix water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit for two minutes so the yeast  can begin to activate.

Next, add salt, oil, and flour. Mix well.

On a floured surface, kneed dough for approximately two minutes and then allow the dough to sit for 8 minutes.

In a greased pan, mold the shape of the pizza dough into your desired shape. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Bake pizza for 25 minutes (depending on how thick the dough is).

Happy Eating!
