*Homemade pizza dough Best Pizza Dough
EXTRAS
- 1-2 tablespoons extra olive oil for brushing
- ¼-½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450F (250C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl mix together the mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Gently mix together. Set aside.
- Roll out the pizza dough into 2 rectangles approximately 4 inches x 10 inches (10x30 cm), then cut each rectangle into 2 strips, place two strips on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the tomato mixture along the strips, half the mixture on each strip (try not to add any liquid), top with the chopped veggies and mozzarella cheese, cover the two strips with the remaining strips.
- With finger tips dipped in water seal the seams, gently twist (easier if you twist starting at the top to the middle then from the bottom to the middle, always leaving the strip on the baking sheet) then brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes until golden. Let sit a couple of minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
