Instructions
Creating your Favorite Veggie Pizza is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature is essential for a crispy crust.
2. Prepare Pizza Dough: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. For store-bought dough, follow the package instructions.
3. Add Sauce: Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
5. Layer Vegetables: Arrange the sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion, spinach, and cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.
6. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the vegetables for added flavor.
7. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza to enhance taste and help with cooking.
8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice it into wedges.
10. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a touch of freshness before serving.
