Makes 1 large pizza, about 6 servings
1 pound refrigerated fresh pizza dough
2 C sliced cremini mushrooms
1 C zucchini, sliced to 1/4 inch
1/4 t black pepper
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, cut into thick slices
5 1/2 t olive oil, divided
1 T yellow cornmeal
1/3 C tomato sauce
1 C (4 oz) shredded part-skim mozarella cheese
1/2 t crushed red pepper
1/3 C part-skim ricotta cheese
2 T small fresh basil leaves
Position an oven rack in the lowest setting; place a pizza stone on rack. Preheat oven to 500°.
Remove dough from refrigerator. Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes.
Combine mushrooms and next 4 ingredients (through onion) in a large bowl; drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Toss. Arrange vegetables on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 500° for 15 minutes.
Punch dough down. Sprinkle a lightly floured baking sheet with cornmeal; roll dough out to 15-inch circle on prepared baking sheet. Brush dough with 1 teaspoon oil. Spread sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella over sauce; top with vegetables. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and red pepper over zucchini mixture. Dollop with ricotta. Slide pizza onto preheated pizza stone. Bake at 500° for 11 minutes or until crust is golden. Sprinkle with basil.
**Notes from Em**
- I added an eggplant, and some halved cherry tomatoes, they were super tasty on this pizza.
- My crust ended up going really soggy in the middle because of how moist all of these veggies were. Next time I think I'll roast them a little bit longer, then cook the pizza without them, just throwing them on for the last few minutes.
