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:
- Allow pizza dough to rest at room temperature so that it will be elastic and easier to shape.
- 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:
- 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.
- In a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce ingredients (mayo, olive oil, and garlic). Spread the mixture evenly over the dough.
- 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.)
- Bake at 400 degrees for 18 – 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- To serve, top pizza with the baby arugula, remaining bacon, and chopped tomatoes onion, if desired.
