Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal (for dusting the baking surface)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Lightly dust a pizza peel or a piece of parchment paper with cornmeal to prevent sticking, and transfer the dough onto it.
Brush the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, avoiding the crust border.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly over the marinara sauce.
Dollop small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the surface of the pizza.
Arrange the sliced red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, zucchini, red onions, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the vegetables for seasoning.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your freshly made Three Cheese Garden Pizza!
