Ingredients:
For the Pizza Dough:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
For the Toppings:

1/2 cup tomato sauce (preferably homemade or low-sugar)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free cheese for a vegan version)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions:
Make the Dough:

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a larger bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and stir until the dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Toppings:

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it’s preheating.
While the dough is rising, prepare the vegetables. Heat a pan with a little olive oil and sauté the mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and zucchini for about 5-7 minutes, or until they soften slightly. Set aside.
Assemble the Pizza:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter).
Place the rolled dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the sauce for added flavor.
Layer the sautéed vegetables, fresh spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the veggies, distributing it evenly.
Bake the Pizza:

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish and Serve:

Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
