If you love Mediterranean recipes, you will love this Mediterranean Veggie Pizza. The base dough is brushed with delicious pesto sauce, topped with some alfredo sauce, and packed with fresh veggies and cheese.
HOW TO MAKE THE MEDITERRANEAN VEGGIE PIZZA:
So for the dough, I basically grabbed raw frozen pizza dough from the grocery store. Thaw it over night and just roll it out and place it on a round pizza pan. You can also just use a rectangular pizza pan. It doesn’t really matter. Just make sure it is non-stick. Dust the dough with some flour before putting it on the pan. Create little air pockets but poking the dough with a fork and brush with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the dough until it’s half way through. Remove from the oven.
PUTTING THE MEDITERRANEAN VEGGIE PIZZA TOGETHER:
After removing the pizza dough from the oven, brush the basil pesto sauce on top. Spread some alfredo sauce and then top with the veggies and cheese. I used artichoke hearts, onions, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, basil leaves, mushroom, pimentos or diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, feta cheese and black olives.
You will then drizzle some olive oil, sprinkle some salt and pepper on the pizza. Another ingredient I love adding to the pizza is dried oregano leaves. Sprinkle some on the pizza and then place in the oven to bake for 10-15 more minutes. Be sure not to use a super soft kind of mozarella cheese so you don’t end up with too much water on your pizza. If that’s all you have, keep an eye on the pizza and occasionally drain the excess water with paper towel. You can also just use the shredded mozzarella cheese you find at the stores to prevent the moisture issue.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This Mediterranean Veggie Pizza is super delish! I am sure many of you will love it.
