Ingredients

Pizza Dough (makes 2 12-inch pizzas)

2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast 1 .25 oz pkg
1 cup warm water 110 degrees
2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Pizza

1 Tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper
1/2 zucchini thinly sliced
8 oz Mushrooms thinly sliced
1/2 bell pepper sliced
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

Pizza Dough

To prepare the dough mix the yeast and water together. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
In a bowl combine flour, salt, sugar. Make a well in the center. Add the water mixture, and olive oil. Stir until the dough comes together in a ball. Cover and let rise for 25 minutes.

Roasted Veggies

Preheat oven to 450º F.
Arrange the sliced veggies on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss together and bake for about 15 minutes, until they are lightly golden brown. They will continue to cook with the pizza, but you want to give them flavor and get rid of some of the moisture before starting the pizza.

To Assemble the Pizza

Divide the dough in half. Roll the one ball of dough, after it has risen onto a greased baking sheet. Pierce over the top with a fork to help it not puff up. Bake for 5 minutes.
Remove the pizza dough from oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Top shredded cheese and arrange the roasted vegetables over the top. Return to the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and hot.
Return to the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and hot.
Remove from the oven, slice and serve.

Notes

You can use any vegetables that you like. Just roast them first to reduce the amount of liquid they release on your pizza.
