Crust: 1 envelope rapid-rise yeast 1 tbsp sugar 1 cup plus 1 tbsps warm water 1/4 tsp salt 2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 tsp garlic powder Nonstick cooking spray Sauce 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes, low sodium 1 tbsp dried basil 1 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp dehydrated onions Toppings 1 cup sliced red onion 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper 1/4 cup diced green pepper 1/2 cup shredded, part skim mozzarella cheese Combine yeast, sugar, and water in a small bowl and mix until yeast and sugar are dissolved. Let rest 10 minutes. Add salt, olive oil, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, and garlic powder and stir well, until a dough forms. Add a few more drops of water if needed to make the dough stick together without becoming too sticky. Spread remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour on a surface to prevent sticking, place dough on surface, and knead 2 minutes, then cover with a dry dish towel and let rise on kneading surface for 10-25 minutes. Heat oven to 400. Spray a pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread dough into a 12-inch circle. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and stir well. Spoon sauce over crust and spread evenly. Layer toppings evenly on pizza in the order listed, then bake for about 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust lightly browned. Let sit for a few minutes, then cut into 8 slices.
