Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

  • ½ cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • ½ cup whole-wheat flour

  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 to 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 8 ounces cooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 5 tablespoons refrigerated basil pesto, divided

  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (2 ounces)

Directions

  1. Combine yeast and warm water in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in honey and olive oil. Combine whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in yeast mixture. Stir in as much of the all-purpose flour as you can.

  2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 4 minutes total). Shape dough in a ball. Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 minutes).

  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease an extra large baking sheet or two small baking sheets; set aside. Punch dough down; divide dough in half. Let rest for 10 minutes.

  4. Roll each dough half on a lightly floured surface into a 10- to 12-inch oval. Transfer to prepared baking sheet(s). Prick dough oval with a fork. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

  5. If desired, halve shrimp lengthwise. Toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the pesto to coat. Spread the remaining 4 tablespoons pesto over baked crusts. Top with shrimp; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes more or until bubbly. Cut each pizza into six slices.

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.)
