Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the vegetables and baking the pizza.
- In a large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Tip: Sifting the flour can make the dough lighter.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup warm water, and 1 tsp active dry yeast to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Let it rest in a greased bowl, covered, for 30 minutes to rise.
- While the dough rises, toss 1 cup sliced bell peppers, 1 cup sliced zucchini, and 1/2 cup sliced red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Tip: For a crispier crust, roll it thinner.
- Spread 1 cup marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Distribute the roasted vegetables on top of the cheese.
- Bake the pizza at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Tip: Let the pizza sit for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set.
Absolutely delightful, the combination of the crispy crust, melted cheese, and sweet roasted veggies makes every bite a joy. Try serving it with a sprinkle of fresh basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra flavor boost.
