Time 1h20m

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)

  • 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.
  • 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.
