Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet or Pizza Pan For baking the pizza evenly.
  • 1 Chef's knife For chopping vegetables.
  • 1 Cutting Board Safe surface for preparing ingredients.
  • 1 Spoon or Spatula For spreading sauce and distributing toppings.
  • 1 Measuring Spoons For accurate seasoning measurements.

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 prebaked 12-inch thin pizza crust
  • 1 can 8 oz pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 38 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 1 cup 4 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for prebaked pizza crusts, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C).
  • Prepare all vegetables by chopping the fresh mushrooms, broccoli florets, green pepper, and sweet red pepper as specified.
  • Place the prebaked 12-inch thin pizza crust directly on a baking sheet or pizza pan.
  • Evenly spread the can of pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small, clean border for the crust.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder over the sauce.
  • Distribute the prepared sliced mushrooms, chopped broccoli florets, chopped green pepper, and chopped sweet red pepper evenly across the pizza.
  • Layer the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the vegetables.
  • Arrange the 38 slices of turkey pepperoni over the cheddar cheese layer.
  • Generously top the entire pizza with the 1 cup (4 oz) of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For optimal vegetable texture and doneness, consider blanching the broccoli florets and briefly sautéing the mushrooms and bell peppers before topping the pizza. This ensures they are tender, not crisp-raw, within the short baking time of a prebaked crust. Layer the cheeses strategically: start with Parmesan, then cheddar, and finally mozzarella for a balanced melt and flavor profile. A light drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the top before baking will enhance the aroma and contribute to a golden finish. Finish with fresh basil leaves for a vibrant burst of flavor and color.
