In honor of Sameer's birthday today, I told him he could have whatever he wanted for dinner. He chose homemade veggie pizza with herbed crust. I'm not sure if it's true or he's just being nice, but I still feel honored that he claims his favorite pizza is the kind I make at home.
Ingredients
1 herbed pizza dough
1 cup mozzarella or Italian cheese blend, grated (the higher number of cheeses in a pizza, the more Sameer seems to like it -- I'm not sure if he's aware of that, but I've noticed when he comments)
2 tbs fresh grated Parmesan (you can omit this if it's already part of the Italian cheese blend)
1/4 cup cheddar, grated
2 cups pizza sauce (This is an approximation. I use about 2/3 of a jar of the store brand organic sauce, and I don't know how big the jar is. 10 oz? 12?)
1/4 cup green and red bell peppers, chopped
2 tbs yellow onion, chopped
4 oz sliced black olives
any other vegetables of your choosing (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough as described in the herbed pizza dough recipe and place it on a round pizza pan sprinkled lightly with corn meal (to avoid sticking).
2. Add pizza sauce, vegetables, and cheeses, in that order. Cook pizza in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
