Ingredients

  • Store-bought pizza dough or homemade equivalent
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Mushrooms, sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to a high temperature so the crust crisps quickly.
  2. Stretch or roll the dough into a round or rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to encourage a golden edge.
  4. Spread an even layer of tomato sauce across the dough, leaving a small border.
  5. Scatter shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan over the sauce.
  6. Arrange bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms in an attractive pattern.
  7. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a small drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

For best results, use a hot oven and a preheated pizza stone. Keep toppings thin to ensure proper cooking.
