Veggie Pizza Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix Dough Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil.

Knead the Dough

Mix the ingredients until they form a dough. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Roll Out Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add Veggie Toppings

Arrange the sliced bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and olives evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper over the top.

Bake Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Cool and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
