Ingredients for a recipe for homemade veggie pizza

But trust me when I say it’s SO GOOD!

The crust is perfectly thin and fluffy (but still thick enough to hold all the ingredients) and just the abundance of roasted vegetables adds a nice velvety crunch. Here’s what you need to make this easy, delicious vegetarian pizza:

All purpose flour. I use organic King Arthur flour.

Hot water. Cold water prevents the yeast from activating, but hot water can kill the yeast, so it’s important to keep the temperature balanced. The water should feel warm but not steaming.

Honey.This feeds the yeast and adds flavor to the dough. You can also use pure maple syrup or agave syrup.

Yeast .Use instant yeast for this dough.

Olive oil.This gives the dough a smooth, elastic stretch.

Kale. I love the combination of kale and cheese. However, you can replace the greens with another leafy base such as spinach or arugula.

BellPepper. I love the color of red and yellow mini sweet peppers. You can of course use any color of pepper you want. And larger peppers work just as well as mini peppers.

Tomatoes. In the summer I can’t get enough of ripe tomatoes on the vine and this pizza is the perfect opportunity to eat even more, especially roasted ones!

Mozzarella (fresh or brick). Adds a huge amount of tasty and pleasantly melted cheese flavor to the vegetables.

Pesto sauce. You can use a premium store-bought version or make your own homemade pesto sauce, which also comes in a nut-free version.

Zucchini. I love the mild, slightly sweet flavor of zucchini and slice and roast them for this pizza. However, you can always replace it with artichoke, yellow squash, cucumber or eggplant.

1 cup HOT fresh water

1 tablespoon honey

or agave 1 package of instant yeast (that’s 2 ¼ teaspoons!)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Toppings: 1 homemade pesto sauce BASE:

1.1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2. 2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese (that’s about 4 ounces).

3. 2 cup roasted herb tomatoes .

4. 2 cup mini peppers, diced or sliced .

5. 1 zucchini, peeled + sliced

7. 1 tsp sea salt.

11. 1 tsp dried oregano

12. 1 tsp dried basil

13. 1 tsp dried parsley

14. A pinch of red pepper flakes

15. 1 cup chopped kale, fresh or frozen

INSTRUCTIONS

How to prepare the pizza base:

Mix warm water, honey, olive oil and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer (fitted with a dough hook) (you may need a whisk to make sure everything is well mixed). Leave for at least 5 minutes until the yeast starts to activate and foam.

Slowly add flour and salt (on low speed!) until fully incorporated and a soft dough forms. NOTE: If dough is too sticky, add additional flour 1/2 cup at a time.

Now increase the speed to medium and knead the dough in the mixer for about 5 minutes. When the dough is ready, cover it with cling film for 10 minutes until it rises slightly.

When ready, place the dough on a floured surface and lightly roll it out until it is flat enough to form a flat circle about 28.5cm in diameter with your hands. Lightly grease your pizza pan with extra virgin olive oil and place the dough at one end of the pan. Press evenly and flatten to fit the entire pan. Gently stretch the dough with your finger until it completely covers the pan and gently pinch the edges of the dough together to form a crust.

ROAST VEGETABLES:

1.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

2.Place tomatoes, zucchini, mini peppers and jalapeños on the baking tray (in a single layer), drizzle with olive oil and season with herbs (salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, parsley and red pepper flakes) and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Bake or until vegetables are charred, wilted and soft. Take out and let cool slightly.

ASSEMBLY:

1.Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit and place the upper part in the center of the oven. NOTE: Make sure you use a good pizza pan so your crust will be crispy and not soggy.

2.Brush a generous amount of pesto sauce over the crust until it is evenly covered.

3.Add generous pieces of fresh mozzarella to the sauce, leaving a small crust around the edges. Top with chopped kale, followed by roasted tomatoes, zucchini, peppers and jalapeños.

4.Lightly brush the top of the crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil so that it turns a nice golden brown.

5.Carefully place the pizza in the hot oven and bake until the cheese is melted (and bubbly) and the crust is crisp and golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

6.When the pizza is ready, let it rest/cool for a few minutes (about 2-3 minutes) to allow the cheese to harden before cutting into generous slices with a pizza cutter.

Have a nice meal!
