Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Begin by preparing the pizza dough according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe.
- Preheat the Pan: While the dough is rising, sprinkle cornmeal generously onto your pizza pan, ensuring an even coating.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough is ready, spread it out onto the prepared pizza pan, shaping it to fit.
- Pre-Bake the Crust: Place the crust into the oven and bake for approximately 2 to 5 minutes, allowing it to firm up slightly.
- Mix Oil and Garlic: While the crust bakes, combine the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl, mixing until well blended.
- Spread the Mixture: Remove the crust from the oven and spread the olive oil and garlic mixture evenly over the warm crust, leaving about half an inch around the edges.
- Add Cheese: Lightly sprinkle the pizza with parmesan cheese to add depth of flavor.
- Layer the Veggies: Begin layering the vegetables on top, starting with the roma tomatoes. This is crucial as the juices from the tomatoes will meld beautifully with the garlic and olive oil, creating a delightful “sauce.”
- Continue Layering: Add the red onion, mushrooms, green and yellow bell peppers, and any other desired vegetables.
- Top with Cheese: Generously cover the veggies with mozzarella cheese, finishing with a sprinkle of parmesan for added taste.
- Bake the Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake according to the dough’s recommended baking time or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
- Slice and Serve: Once baked, let the pizza sit for a couple of minutes before slicing to allow the toppings to set.
- Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy a delicious slice of homemade Garlic Veggie Pizza!
