Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone preheated
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

Pizza Base

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

Cheese Toppings

  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Vegetable Toppings

  • 1/2 cup bell peppers sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup spinach leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Allow the dough to rise for about an hour until it has doubled in size. Once ready, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella over the sauce, followed by dollops of ricotta, and finish with a generous sprinkle of parmesan.
  • Top the pizza with bell peppers, mushrooms, onion slices, and spinach. Arrange them evenly for a balanced bite.
  • Transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone or sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!

Storage

  • Place any leftover slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

Notes

Pro Tips: Preheat your pizza stone for a crispier crust. Use fresh mozzarella for optimal taste. Avoid overloading toppings to prevent sogginess. Let the pizza cool slightly before cutting.
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap out vegetables based on preference. Try goat cheese for a tangy twist.
How to Serve: Best served fresh out of the oven. Pair with a simple side salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dough ahead of time and freeze it. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before use.
