• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/8 cup diced red onion
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 3 large roma tomatoes, diced
• 8 ounces no-sugar-added tomato sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (may substitute italian seasoning for dried herbs)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 24 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces pepperoni slices
• 1/2 cup crumbled italian sausage, cooked
• 1/2 cup diced parma ham
• 1/3 cup julienned red bell pepper

• 1/3 cup julienned red onion
• 2 portabella mushroom caps, sliced

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
• 2 make the crust: generously spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray.
• 3 in a medium bowl, stir together all of the crust ingredients to make a smooth, thick, pancake-like batter.
• 4 using a rubber spatula, spread the batter as thin and evenly as possible over the 2 pans.
• 5 place pizza crusts on center racks of the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and firm to touch.
• 6 remove crusts from oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees f.
• 7 make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil and then sweat onions and garlic in oil, cooking just until softened and translucent.
• 8 add diced tomatoes and the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 2 minutes.
• 9 compile the pizzas: spread the tomato sauce and then the mozzarella cheese evenly over both crusts.
• 10 top 1 pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and ham, and top the other with the bell pepper strips, onions, and mushrooms.
• 11 lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon olive oil over each pizza, and sprinkle each with a dash of dried oregano.
• 12 place the pizzas back in the oven to bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
• 13 cut each pizza into 8 slices.
