Low-Fat Basil Pizza

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 can (10 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust dough
  • 1/3 cup tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded low-fat, reduced-fat, light, or part-skim mozzarella, jack, or Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan or sap sago cheese
  • 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes

Directions

  1. 1
    Unfold dough. In a lightly oiled 12- to 14-inch pizza pan or on a 14- by 17-inch baking sheet, pat dough into a 12-inch-wide round with a slightly thicker 1/2-inch-wide rim.
  2. 2
    Bake crust on lowest rack in a 425° oven until lightly browned on the bottom, 6 to 8 minutes (5 to 6 minutes in a convection oven).
  3. 3
    In a bowl, combine tomato paste, 2 tablespoons water, and oregano.
  4. 4
    Spread tomato mixture over crust, but not rim. Sprinkle with capers. Drop shredded mozzarella cheese in clusters onto tomato mixture, then sprinkle with parmesan.
  5. 5
    Return pizza to lowest oven rack and bake until mozzarella softens, about 3 minutes (2 minutes in a convection oven). Scatter basil leaves and chili flakes over pizza.
