If you’re looking for a healthy pizza, then most frozen pizza and chain-store pizzas are off the table.

But this homemade artichoke pizza recipe is a delicious and healthier alternative.

To make a delicious gourmet pizza at home, the only ingredient you might need to add to your grocery list is active dry yeast.

Add the yeast to warm water right away while you prepare your other pizza ingredients.

If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook and let the mixer do the work. Between 10 and 15 minutes in the stand mixer will get your pizza dough nice and workable.

Don’t have the time to make your dough from scratch? Whole-wheat pizza dough from the grocery store works well, too.

Instructions

FOR PIZZA DOUGH:

Place yeast, water, and sugar in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until yeast becomes foamy.
Combine 3 cups flour and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to yeast mixture. Mix with clean hands until mixture does not stick to your hands. Add additional flour if needed. Roll dough into a ball. Brush with ½ tsp. oil. Place in a bowl; cover with a towel. Let rise for 2 hours.

FOR ARTICHOKE PIZZA:

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Roll dough until it will no longer stretch. Let rest for 5 minutes. Continue to roll until it reaches your desired diameter, about 10 to 12-inches, and about ½-inch thick. Place on baking pan lightly coated with spray.
Brush with remaining 1 tsp. oil.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over dough. Season with oregano, Italian seasoning, pepper, red pepper, and garlic powder.
Top with artichokes, onion, mushrooms, and olives.
Sprinkle with cheese.
