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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves (if using).

Step 9

Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade veggie pizza!
