My roasted vegetable pizza is a vegetarian's dream come true. It is made with a quick homemade pizza crust topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and roasted veggies.
Put the plain flour, salt, yeast, and sugar in a bowl and mix.
270 g All Purpose Flour, 7 g Dried yeast, ½ teaspoon Sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt
Add the olive oil and water, use your hands to bring the dough together.
160 ml Warm Water, 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes.
Put the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and put it in a warm place for 45-50 minutes to double in size.
Now, roll the dough out on a floured surface to your preferred thickness, then put it in a well-greased baking tray.
Prepare your roasted vegetables
Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place all the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer.
½ cup Bell pepper, ½ cup Eggplant, ½ cup Zucchini, ½ cup Onion
Drizzle with oil and sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.
1 tablespoon Olive oil, ¼ teaspoon Salt , ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until slightly roasted (don't overcook as they will cook again with the pizza).
Take out of the oven and set aside.
Add the toppings
Preheat the oven to 240C / 460F.
Brush the pizza crust with a tablespoon of oil to prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly on top of the crust. Then, scatter the mozzarella cheese, and arrange the roasted vegetables on top.
⅓ cup Pizza sauce, ¾ cup Mozzarella cheese
Bake for 14-15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Sprinkle some fresh basil on top, slice and serve.
A handful of fresh basil
Notes
I highly recommend not to overcook the vegetables. Remember that the vegetables will continue to cook on top of the pizza.
