Delicious Vegetable Pizza Recipe 🍕😊🍷

Ingredients

(for 1 medium pizza, 2-3 people)

: For the dough (or use a ready-made dough, if preferred): 2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon active dry yeast (or 10 g fresh yeast)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

¾ cup warm water

For the filling:

200 g tomato sauce (or seasoned tomato passata)

200 g grated mozzarella (or vegan cheese, if preferred)

1 small zucchini, thinly sliced

1 red or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

100 g sliced fresh mushrooms (champignon or other)

10-12 black or green olives (pitted)

1 tomato, sliced

Oregano, fresh basil, and pepper to taste

Olive oil for water

Preparation:

1. Prepare the dough (if making homemade): In a bowl, combine the yeast with the warm water and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Knead for about 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.

2. Assemble the pizza:

Preheat the oven to 220°C (or the hottest your oven allows).

Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a circle about 30 cm in diameter. Place it on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.

Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1 cm border.

Spread the grated mozzarella evenly. Arrange the vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and olives) decoratively or in a mix, as you prefer.

Season with oregano, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add fresh basil leaves, if desired.

3. Bake

: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven, let it rest for 2 minutes, and then slice.

Tip: Variety of vegetables: You can add broccoli, corn, spinach, or other vegetables of your choice.

Special touch: Try adding some sliced garlic or grated Parmesan cheese before baking.

Ready-made crust: For convenience, use a pre-baked pizza crust or pita bread as a base.

Vegan version: Substitute the cheese for a vegan version or use seasoned nut paste.

Serve with a fresh salad and enjoy!
