  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Pizza Sauce

  • 1/3 cup low-fat olive oil mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Pizza

  • 16 ounces whole wheat pizza dough (I get mine at the Publix deli.)
  • 8 ounces center-cut bacon fried crisp and crumbled
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion separated into rings
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Instructions

30 Minutes Before Baking:

  1. Allow pizza dough to rest at room temperature so that it will be elastic and easier to shape.
  2. Slice the tomato into very thin slices and place on a paper-towel lined plate or tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and allow to drain for 20-30 minutes.

Bake Time:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Shake off any excess and set aside. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper and transfer to the pizza pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce ingredients (mayo, olive oil, and garlic). Spread the mixture evenly over the dough.
  3. Layer the toppings in this order: Half the bacon, red onion rings, and then mozzarella cheese. Add tomato slices, and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese. (Chop extra tomato and onion for garnish if desired.)
  4. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 – 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  5. To serve, top pizza with the baby arugula, remaining bacon, and chopped tomatoes onion, if desired.
