Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Yellow bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Green zucchini, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

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 lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the pizza dough. This will help achieve a crispy crust.

Step 4

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce layer.

Step 6

Arrange the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini slices, cherry tomato halves, red onion slices, and black olive slices on the pizza to create a colorful 'patchwork' pattern. Be creative with the layout!

Step 7

Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the top for added flavor.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Brush the crust edges with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil for extra flavor and shine.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves over the pizza before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Cut into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your Patchwork Veggie Pizza!
