Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Homemade Veggie Pizza.
Step 1
Begin by sprinkling yeast over warm water, ensuring the temperature is no higher than 100°F or 40°C.
Step 2
Allow it to sit for about five minutes until it softens and develops a creamy foam.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, one tablespoon of oregano, and one teaspoon of salt.
Step 4
Incorporate the egg and olive oil, then blend in the yeast mixture.
Step 5
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for approximately eight minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and turn it to coat.
Step 7
Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm spot, ideally between 80 to 95°F or 27 to 35°C, until it doubles in size, which should take about an hour.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 450°F or 235°C and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 9
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced tomatoes, tomato paste, optional onion, one tablespoon of oregano, garlic, onion powder, one teaspoon of salt, and pepper.
Step 10
Cook the mixture until it thickens, roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 11
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Step 12
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape them into rounds, allowing them to rest for ten minutes.
Step 13
Next, form the dough into rectangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 14
Generously spoon the tomato sauce over the dough, followed by sprinkling with one and a quarter cups of mozzarella cheese.
Step 15
If desired, add bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, then finish with an additional quarter cup of mozzarella cheese.
Step 16
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is beautifully melted.
Step 17
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you savor this homemade creation.
