100% Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza

Having a hard time thinking up new healthy dinner options? Try this! It's fast, easy, and delicious! It'll definitely be your new favorite thing to make :)


Start with: 
Pre-made 100% whole wheat dough for your base
Low moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Non-stick cooking spray
Your favorite veggies (I used: red onions, yellow peppers, baby spinach, shredded carrots, tomato slices, artichoke heart layers)

First, gather all of your ingredients on a clean surface with plenty of space to work.

Then take note of any veggies that need to be dried, and simply press gently 
with paper-towels to absorb any excess moisture.
Take your 100% whole wheat dough and drizzle with olive oil, 
and then spread with minced garlic. Be sure to leave enough room around 
the edges for a crust.
Now cover the surface where you put the oil and garlic with the low moisture 
part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Strategically place your assorted veggies over the cheese. Remember 
not to create too many layers, because it will make it harder to cook. (Look at all those colors!)



















Make sure your oven is pre-heated to 400 degrees. 
Carefully place your pizza on a non-stick pan that has been lightly-coated 
with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes and remove.



















Create another thin layer of cheese to cover the veggies, 
and put back in the oven until melted.



















Let cool for 5 minutes. 
Use sharpened pizza-cutter and divide in slices, plate, and serve. Voila




















Hope you enjoy! :)
