Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 1 lb) Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Bell peppers (assorted colors, thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with flour or cornmeal, then place the rolled-out dough on it.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic and evenly spread it over the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives over the cheese. Spread them out so they bake evenly.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the vegetables, then season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone if using one). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh vegetable pizza!
