Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.

Step 3

Sprinkle cornmeal onto a piece of parchment paper and place the rolled-out dough on top.

Step 4

Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to create a golden crust when baked.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce as the first layer of cheese.

Step 7

Distribute the sliced bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and olives evenly over the cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese along with the grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.

Step 9

Season the pizza with dried oregano and optional chili flakes for extra flavor.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cheesy veggie pizza!
