Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 1 lb) Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Bell peppers (assorted colors, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Black olives (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Dust a baking sheet or pizza peel with flour or cornmeal, then place the rolled-out dough on it.

Step 3

Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic and evenly spread it over the dough.

Step 4

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Arrange cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives over the cheese. Spread them out so they bake evenly.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the vegetables, then season with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone if using one). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 9

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh vegetable pizza!
