Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet on the middle rack to heat.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 4

Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough and sprinkle the minced garlic on top.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.

Step 7

Arrange the red and yellow bell pepper slices, red onion slices, zucchini rounds, and cherry tomato halves evenly over the pizza.

Step 8

Scatter the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pizza for extra flavor.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
