Ingredients:
For the Pizza:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Toaster Oven:
Preheat your toaster oven to 425°F (220°C) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Prepare the Toppings:
While the toaster oven is preheating, prepare your pizza toppings. Slice the cherry tomatoes, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, and bell peppers.
3. Roll Out the Dough:
Place the pre-made pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
4. Assemble the Pizza:
Place the rolled-out dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly on the toaster oven rack if it’s safe for your toaster oven. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange the sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, and bell peppers over the cheese.
5. Bake the Pizza:
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the toaster oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the toaster oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Slice the pizza and serve immediately.
