Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, stretch or roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over sauce.
Top with bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, olives, and jalapeños if using. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle oregano, salt, and pepper.
Slide pizza onto preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.
Tips
For a crispier crust, prebake the dough for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
Feel free to substitute vegetables based on seasonal availability.
Leftover pizza can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a skillet or oven.
