Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14- to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
- ½ cup Super-Easy Marinara Sauce or store-bought marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil and oregano (half and half, or all basil)
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- ¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 medium cremini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
- ½ green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ½ medium Roma tomato, chopped
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F if using a baking sheet, or as high as it will go if using a baking stone or steel. Place the stone or steel in the bottom third of the oven during preheating. Let the oven preheat for at least 30 minutes. If using a stone or steel, switch the oven to Broil on high after preheating.
- Stretch or roll out your dough to a 12- to 14-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet, pizza pan, or a lightly floured pizza peel if using a stone or steel.
- Spread the sauce on the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh herbs and half of the cheese.
- Add the remaining toppings in this order: onion, mushrooms, bell pepper, olives, remaining cheese, and tomato. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes on a baking sheet, or 6 to 8 minutes on a baking stone or steel, until the crust is golden around the edges and evenly browned on the bottom.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Let it rest for a couple minutes before you slice and serve.
Notes
- Roasting the vegetables before topping the pizza deepens their flavor, adds sweetness, and creates a richer texture.
- This recipe works well with any reliable thin-crust or regular pizza dough.
