Author: Minimalist Baker
Recipe type: Pizza
Cuisine: Vegetarian, Italian
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pizza dough recipe (or 1 store-bought crust)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mixed veggies of your choice (such as cherry tomatoes, eggplant, onion, green pepper, mushroom)
- 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
- OPTIONAL: Italian seasonings, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil
Directions:
- If roasting veggies, preheat oven to broil, toss veggies in olive oil on a baking sheet, and broil for 4-6 minutes on the top rack (low/medium broil), tossing once for even cooking. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Next, coat a cast iron or round baking dish with extra virgin olive oil and run a garlic clove around for seasoning. Plop your dough down into the pan and push it up around the sides about 1 to 1.5 inches. Let rest for a few minutes while preparing the rest of your toppings.
- First sprinkle in 1/2 of mozzarella cheese, then add veggies, then sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, italian seasonings (dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper, etc.) and grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese and sauce are bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting, then serve immediately.
