You’ll Need

  • 1 lb frozen whole wheat or white pizza dough
  • ¾ cup plain tomato sauce (canned or fresh)
  • ½ cup corn kernels (frozen or cut off the cob)
  • ½ cup shredded zucchini (yellow or green)
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup finely diced tomato or salsa
  • 1 cup shredded Italian Fontina or mozzarella cheese

  • Vegetable toppings can include: broccoli, peppers, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, fresh basil, mushrooms.
  • Parchment paper
  • Flour for work surface
  • Rolling pin

Prep and Cook

  • If using frozen dough, be sure to defrost in the fridge overnight then let the dough sit out for at least ½ hour.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Warm a pizza stone or large, heavy baking sheet (17” x 14”) on lowest rack in the oven for at least 20 minutes.
  • Cut individual sized parchment paper to accommodate each pizza and place on work surface.
  • Divide pizza dough into 4 – 6 pieces. On lightly floured parchment paper, have each family member stretch or roll out dough with a floured rolling pin, to their desired size.
  • Lightly prick dough with a fork (to avoid bubbles).
  • In medium sized bowl, combine tomato sauce, corn, zucchini, carrots, and chopped tomato (or salsa).
  • Using a small ladle, have each family member spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface of pizza, leaving a ½ inch (1cm) border around the edge.
  • Allow everyone to choose additional toppings, including vegetables, cheese, and meat. Scatter ingredients over the surface of the pizza.
  • Transfer each pizza to stone or large tray.
  • Bake at 500°F degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the toppings are hot.
  • Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, cut in halves or quarters and serve.
