Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, approx. 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium (sliced into thin strips) Green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium (sliced into thin strips) Red bell pepper
- 0.5 small (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup (sliced) Mushrooms
- 0.25 cup (sliced) Black olives
- 0.25 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 5 leaves (optional, for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top the pizza with green bell peppers, red bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and black olives. Distribute the toppings evenly for balanced flavor and cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the hot pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves (if using).
Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade veggie pizza!
