"Believe it or not, Americans eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
-Boyd Matson, National Geographic explorer

The refrigerator light goes on...

You deserve your share of that acreage and this pizza is the real deal. If you don't want to make your own tomato sauce using one of the bottled sauces works fine. The Newman's OwnŽ Marinara sauce is a good choice and not too terribly high in sodium (it will add about 225 mg of sodium to this recipe). It has a good sweet flavor that's just right for pizza. You can also look for a low-sodium tomato sauce if you are on a salt restricted diet -- they are much easier to find these days.

Leftovers are good cold for breakfast.

1/4 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup shredded part skim milk mozzarella
1/2 ounce Hormel Turkey Pepperoni (about 8 slices)
1/4 whole wheat pizza dough

Pizza is best baked on a pizza stone but a cookie sheet will work as well. Place the baking stone or cookie sheet in an oven that has been preheated to 500°F. Allow the baking suface to heat for at least 15-20 minutes.

Using 1/4 of the pizza dough recipe (for each pizza), gently stretch into 8-inch rounds. Don't work too hard to get a perfectly round shape.

Once the dough is formed, place it on top of the hot pizza stone and top with 1/4 cup marinara sauce. Place the pepperoni discs on top of the sauce and top with the shredded mozzarella.

Bake for approximately ten to twelve minutes until the crust is golden brown.
