Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup baby spinach (optional, for topping after baking)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and place on the sheet.
- Brush dough with olive oil and spread marinara sauce evenly over it.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Cool slightly, then top with fresh spinach if using. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Let store-bought dough sit at room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
- Sauté firmer vegetables like zucchini if using to reduce moisture.
- Add different cheeses like feta or goat cheese for variety.
- Swap marinara with pesto for a herby twist.
