Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or a baking sheet inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter for a standard thin crust). Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Brush the entire surface of the rolled-out pizza dough with the garlic-infused olive oil, spreading the garlic evenly over the dough.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top the pizza with the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and spinach leaves.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the veggies, followed by the dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Carefully remove the preheated baking stone or sheet from the oven and sprinkle it lightly with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot baking stone or sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade garlic veggie pizza!
