Homemade Pizza

I found some whole wheat pizza dough at my local Trader Joe's & decided to give it a try. This was a wonderful, crispy & delicious pizza... it was a big hit with all of us (especially the kids). I will be making my own pizzas from now on! Really easy, much healthier & so tasty.
  • 16 oz prepared pizza dough (I used whole wheat & it was amazing)
  • 1/2 cup of pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1-2 cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Turkey pepperoni (as much as desired)
  • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, sliced very thin
  • 1-2 tbsp sweet yellow onion, sliced very thin
  • Fresh pineapple cut into small chunks (or canned pineapple tidbits)
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed (reminds me of my favorite Louie's Pizza)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped

Let the dough sit on a floured surface for 20 minutes before rolling it out. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Roll the dough into whatever shape & size of pizza you desire. Place on a round or square baking tray coated with cooking spray. Spread sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, fennel seeds, basil & Parmesan cheese on top. Cook for 10-14 minutes until desired crispiness. Remove from oven add fresh parsley. Enjoy.
