Ingredients

Dough

1 can Refrigerated Pizza Dough (13.8 oz, choose classic or thin crust)
0.5 cup Pizza Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (low-moisture, part-skim)
0.25 cup Finely Diced Red Bell Pepper (adds sweetness and color)
0.25 cup Finely Diced Green Bell Pepper (vegetal flavor and color)
0.25 cup Finely Diced Red Onion (mild sharpness)
0.25 cup Sliced Black Olives (salty, briny kick)
0.25 cup Sliced Mushrooms (optional, earthy depth)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for brushing dough)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (dried herbs blend)
to taste Salt and Black Pepper (to enhance flavors)

Optional Toppings

to taste Grated Parmesan Cheese (for sprinkling)
optional Cornmeal (for dusting baking sheet)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare baking sheet with parchment or lightly greased, dusted with cornmeal if desired.
Unroll and optionally thin the pizza dough. Cut out circles with a 2.5-3 inch diameter cutter, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Transfer dough circles to the baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil, then add a small spoonful of sauce, seasonings, cheese, and vegetables.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use a small cookie cutter for best results and avoid overloading toppings for even baking.
