Garden Vegetable Pan Pizza
"Transform your weeknight dinner into a vibrant garden feast with this thick-crust pan pizza loaded with a colorful medley of fresh and pantry-staple vegetables."
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a non-stick or Teflon baking dish with a small amount of oil.
Press the pizza dough evenly into the prepared dish, shaping it into an even base with a slightly raised edge.
Spread a smooth, even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Evenly arrange the mushrooms, green bell pepper, tomato slices, and the drained mixed vegetables over the sauce.
Gently press the toppings down with your hands or a spatula so they adhere well during baking.
Sprinkle the grated pizza cheese evenly over the vegetables, covering the surface without overloading it.
Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes using the lower heat setting.
Switch to the upper heat source and continue baking for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
