Garfield's Road Trip Veggie Pizza

1.Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust with cornmeal/flour.

2.On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch (30cm) round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.

3.Brush the dough lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

4.Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce.

5.Arrange the red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, black olives, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and mushrooms evenly over the cheese.

6.Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the veggies. Sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

8.Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

9.Slice into wedges or squares for easy, road trip-friendly portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
