How to Make Fresh Vegetable Pizza Appetizer

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine pizza dough, 1/2 cup pizza sauce, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Gently knead until combined.
  3. Press the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangular pan.
  4. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  5. Evenly distribute the sliced bell peppers (1 cup) and sliced zucchini (1 cup) over the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing into 1-inch squares.
  9. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional).
