Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough

  • ¼ cup pesto

  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms

  • 1 cup baby arugula

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup cooked crumbled sausage

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

  2. Roll dough into a 12-inch oval on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a lightly floured large baking sheet. Bring the dough, pesto, mushrooms, arugula and mozzarella to the grill.

  3. Oil the grill rack. Transfer the crust to the grill. Close the lid and cook until puffed and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs, turn the crust over. Spread the crust with the pesto and top with the mushrooms, arugula and mozzarella. Close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes more.

  4. Return the pizza to the baking sheet. Top with sausage.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
