Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

  3. 3

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast Garlic

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.

  2. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    Once the garlic is roasted, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or use a pizza stone if available.

  2. 7

    Shape Dough

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

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Spread the roasted garlic cloves over the pizza dough, then layer the sautéed vegetables evenly on top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the vegetables.

  4. 9

    Bake Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve warm.
