Here's a step-by-step guide to making a delicious veggie pizza:

Ingredients:

  • Pizza Dough:

    • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast

    • 1 tsp sugar

    • 1 cup of warm water

    • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 tsp salt

    • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Pizza Sauce:

    • 1 cup tomato sauce

    • 1 tsp dried oregano

    • 1 tsp dried basil

    • 1 garlic clove, minced

    • Salt and pepper to taste.

  • Toppings:

    • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

    • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, green, yellow).

    • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

    • 1/2 cup red onions, thinly sliced

    • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced

    • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pizza dough:

  1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

  1. In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, oregano, basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3. Preheat the Oven:

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

4. Assemble the Pizza:

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions.

  2. Roll out one part on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. Place the rolled-out dough on a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  5. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

  6. Spread the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, and cherry tomatoes evenly on the cheese.

  7. Add a bit more cheese on top if desired.

5. Bake the Pizza:

  1. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or keep it on the baking sheet.

  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

6. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

  2. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

  3. Slice and enjoy your homemade veggie pizza!
