Veggie Pizza
Healthy and Delicious!
To be prepared, you will need...
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 cups all purpose flower
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 can diced no salt tomato
- 1 can no salt tomato paste
- 1/2 small onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (fine chopped)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch ground pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- green or red peppers
- mushrooms
- onions
- olives
How to do it:
- Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
- Sift flour, sugar, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Mix egg and oil into dry ingredients; stir in yeast mixture. When dough has pulled together, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, then place dough in bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (235 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Cook and stir diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, 1 tablespoon oregano, garlic, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sauce has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Punch down dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to divide dough into two equal pieces--do not tear. Shape dough into rounds and let rest for 10 minutes. Form dough into rectangles, and place onto prepared baking sheet. Spoon tomato sauce over dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese; top with bell pepper, onion, and mushroom.
- Bake in preheated oven until crust is browned and crisp and cheese has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
