Ingredients

4 servings

1/2 batch pizza dough recipe
3/4 - 1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mixed veggies of choice ((such as cherry tomatoes, eggplant, onion, green pepper, mushroom))
Olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 - 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
Italian seasonings ((dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper, etc. // optional))
Grated parmesan cheese ((optional))
Fresh basil ((optional))

Steps

Prepare pizza dough (half batch only) and sauce if using homemade.
If roasting veggies, preheat oven to broil, toss veggies in olive oil on a baking sheet, and broil for 4-6 minutes on the top rack (low/medium broil), tossing once for even cooking. Or if using a parchment-lined baking sheet, roast veggies at 450 degrees F (232 C) as the broiling function is unsafe with parchment paper. Remove from oven and set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C).
Next, coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish with olive oil and run a garlic clove around for seasoning (NOTE: If using a 12-inch cast iron, the recipe should still work you'll just need to stretch the dough a bit more to fit the pan, and use slightly more toppings). Plop your dough down into the pan and push it up around the sides about 1 to 1.5 inches (see photo). Let rest for a few minutes while preparing the rest of your toppings.
First sprinkle in 1/2 of mozzarella cheese, then add veggies, then sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, Italian seasonings (dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper, etc.) and grated parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese and sauce are bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting, then serve immediately. Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Or in the freezer up to 1 month.
