Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Tomato puree (unsweetened, no soy additives)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for sauce, optional)
• 1 small Zucchini (thinly sliced)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 cup Mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (soy-free, shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 2

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato puree, Italian seasoning, and optional salt. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then set aside.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions (for two smaller pizzas) or keep as one for a large pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Step 6

Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared surface.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Top the pizza with zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips, mushrooms, red onion slices, and cherry tomato halves. Add fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.

Step 9

If using a preheated pizza stone, carefully transfer the pizza onto the stone. Alternatively, bake on a baking sheet.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
