Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-14 inches diameter when rolled) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 handful Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-14 inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment paper-lined pizza peel or baking sheet.
Brush the rolled-out dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving about 1 inch around the edges for the crust.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the minced garlic. Spread this mixture evenly over the oiled pizza dough.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough as a base layer.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes, zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, asparagus pieces, and spinach evenly over the cheese layer.
Top the vegetables with the remaining mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the pizza for seasoning.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or place the baking sheet into the oven.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice, serve, and enjoy your Pizza Primavera.
