- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
- Sliced bell peppers
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature so the crust crisps quickly.
- Stretch or roll the dough into a round or rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to encourage a golden edge.
- Spread an even layer of tomato sauce across the dough, leaving a small border.
- Scatter shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan over the sauce.
- Arrange bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms in an attractive pattern.
- Season with salt and pepper and finish with a small drizzle of olive oil.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

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