Roasted Garden Pizza

This Roasted Garden Pizza is so easy to make, when you use store bought pizza dough. If you love pizza like I do, your going to love this vegetarian one .

You won’t believe how easy it is. Toasty, cheesy  spread with pesto sauce, topped with garden picked vegetables and sprinkled with salty parmesan, piping hot from the oven make this pizza a family favorite.

When I made this pizza the other day, I was craving something colorful and full of garden grown flavors. Anyone that has ever planted even just one zucchini plant knows, from just one you’ll have zucchini’s all Summer.

How To Made Roasted Garden Pizza

Here’s how to make this Roasted Garden Pizza: Start by kneading the dough just a few times on a lightly  floured broad , then gather it in a ball and let it rest covered 3o minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400. I like to prebake my pizza crust before topping them, and then returning them to the oven for the final bake. It’s especially important to prebake the crust in this recipe, the vegetables contain a lot of water.

If you skip this important step you end up with a wet soggy pizza crust, that’s not good. Another thing to remember is that the oven needs to be hot. I actually cooked this  pizza in my Cuisinart toaster oven/fryer that’s big enough for small bakes like this one, and saves me from heating up my large kitchen oven, and it’s quicker too!!!

If you make this please leave me a comment and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram, Hearing from you is my favorite part.
