In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato puree, Italian seasoning, and optional salt. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then set aside.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions (for two smaller pizzas) or keep as one for a large pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared surface.
Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top the pizza with zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, mushrooms, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves. Add fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
If using a preheated pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza onto the stone. Alternatively, bake on a baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
