Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for a crispier crust.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a round or rectangular shape, depending on preference.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, ensuring the edges are also coated.

Step 5

Spread the minced garlic evenly over the crust for added flavor.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a slight border for the crust.

Step 7

Distribute the cherry tomato halves, red bell pepper slices, zucchini rounds, and red onion slices evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Scatter fresh basil leaves over the toppings, then sprinkle oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Optional: Drizzle a bit of olive oil or balsamic glaze on top for extra flavor.
