Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pre-made pizza dough
- 12 pieces Vegetarian meatballs
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Brush olive oil over the surface of the dough, focusing on the edges to create a golden crust.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of the outer edge for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Slice the vegetarian meatballs in halves or quarters, depending on your preference, and distribute them evenly over the pizza.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and the red onion into thin rings. Arrange them on top of the pizza.
Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot.
