Five-Ingredient Tomato-Cheese Pizza

Ingredients:

• 3/4 lb. whole wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
• cornmeal, for the pan
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Makes 8 Servings

1. Place oven rack on bottom rung oven and preheat oven to 500 F.
2. Turn dough onto lightly floured work surface. With lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into 12-inch round. Sprinkle pizza pan or large baking sheet with cornmeal. Transfer dough to prepared pan, gently pulling dough back into 12-inch round. (If dough resists, cover lightly with clean kitchen towel and let rest about 10 minutes.)
3. Spread tomato sauce over dough; sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Top evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until crust is golden and cheeses are melted, 12-15 minutes.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. This is a quick and easy dish that is better than takeout. The only thing hard about this recipe is actually rolling out the dough because pizza dough sometimes has a mind of its own. This pizza tastes better and is cheaper than what you would order at a pizzeria. I highly recommend putting on homemade tomato sauce on this pizza as well as fresh herbs like basil and oregano for a more authentic Italian taste. It will be more than 5 ingredients but it's worth it.
