Ingredients
- Pizza dough: You can make your own pizza dough, or use store-bought, whatever is easiest for you!
- Sauce: To keep this light, and focus on the toppings, I use a garlic and olive oil sauce for this pizza.
- Cheese: I use the classic mozzarella, but also add feta cheese for the Mediterranean flair.
- Pizza toppings: For this veggie pizza, I used kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, red onion, artichoke hearts, chili flakes, and oregano.
How to Make Mediterranean Veggie Pizza
Step 1. Start by preparing your ingredients and rolling out your dough.
Step 2. Brush your dough with olive oil, then evenly add the minced garlic.
Step 3. Then sprinkle with mozzarella and feta cheese until evenly coated.
Step 4. Finish adding your toppings, then toss into your pizza oven for 10-14 minutes until fully cooked and cheese is bubbly.
Let rest a few minutes before slicing, then serve and enjoy your Mediterranean Veggie Pizza!
