Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough

  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  2. Roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place it on parchment paper.
  3. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.

  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Arrange the bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and spinach over the cheese.
  7. Season with oregano, basil, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
  8. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Add zucchini, broccoli, or artichoke hearts for more vegetable variety.
  • Substitute feta, goat cheese, or fresh mozzarella for shredded mozzarella.
  • Drizzle pesto over the pizza after baking for extra herb flavor.
  • Add jalapeños or banana peppers for a spicy variation.
  • Use a whole wheat or cauliflower crust if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven or skillet for the crispiest crust.
