Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

Vegetable Topping Ingredients

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup tomato sauce (lightly seasoned)
  • 1 ½ cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Mix whole wheat flour, warm water, olive oil, salt, and yeast until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour, to develop flavor and texture.
  2. Roast the Vegetables: Toss bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and basil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  3. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to your preferred pizza shape. Transfer to a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
  4. Assemble the Pizza: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top, then evenly arrange the roasted vegetables over the cheese.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake the pizza at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a pizza stone to ensure even heat distribution and a crispier crust.
  • Avoid overloading the pizza with veggies to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Preheat your oven thoroughly for the best baking results.
  • Allow the dough to rest and rise properly for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Choose quality olive oil to enhance both dough and vegetable flavors.
