Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 Tbs + olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 zucchini sliced wide on diagonal
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 Tbs fresh herbs chopped
  • 2 large tomato sliced
  • 3 Tbs olive tapenade
  • 6 oz. mozzarella cheese or other soft cheese

Instructions

  • Place flour, salt, yeast, sugar and 1 Tbs. olive oil in a bowl.    Add 1/4 cup warm water to moisten the yeast.  Mix dough together with a spoon adding more warm water until the mixture forms a fairly wet ball. Mix the dough further to knead the dough.  Cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place to rise for an hour or the whole day. Punch down dough from time to time after an hour of rising.
  • Grill or roast red pepper and zucchini.  Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Oil a 9 x 12 baking sheet or dish well so dough will not stick to it.  Plop dough onto baking sheet and press into place.
  • Place toppings on pizza.  First 1 Tbs olive oil, then minced garlic, then herbs, then sliced tomatoes,  veggies and cheese.  Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place pizza into preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.  Pizza is done when crust is golden brown on edge and cheese has begun to melt.
  • Cut into 8 pieces.  Serve and enjoy!
