The Works Pizza
Chef’s Notes
Make your own dough using the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough recipe. Or, look for prepared whole wheat pizza dough in the refrigerator section of your store.
Try making a calzone. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Lay dough on sheet. Cover half the dough with sauce, cheese, and veggies. Fold the dough in half over toppings and seal the edges. Bake for 6 minutes. Turn over, then bake an extra 6 minutes.
Make Mini Pizzas using English muffins or pita bread for the crust.
Top pizza with any seasonal veggies you like. Try broccoli, red onion, zucchini, or others.
Instead of using canned tomato sauce, make your own.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Cook for 3 minutes.
