First, set your oven to 475°F (245°C). This heat makes the crust crispy. While it warms up, grab your pre-made whole wheat pizza crust. Lay it flat on a baking sheet or pizza stone. This helps the crust cook evenly. Now it’s time to build your pizza. Start by spreading 1/2 cup of rich pizza sauce on the crust. Use a spatula or a spoon for this. Leave a small edge for the crust. Next, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. For a colorful look, arrange 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers, 1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion in circles on top of the cheese. Then, add 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves on top. Finish with 1/4 cup of sliced black olives and 1/4 cup of coarsely chopped artichoke hearts. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over everything. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Carefully place the pizza in your preheated oven. Bake it for 12-15 minutes. Look for bubbly cheese and a golden-brown crust. Once it’s ready, take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. After that, slice it into wedges and enjoy! For the full recipe, you can refer back to the beginning. To get a crispy crust, start with a hot oven. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This heat will help the crust become nice and crunchy. If you use a pizza stone, heat it as well. Place the crust flat on the stone or a baking sheet. This way, the bottom cooks evenly. Avoid thick crusts; they tend to get soggy. A thinner whole wheat crust is perfect for this recipe. Seasoning makes your pizza extra tasty. Use a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top before baking. This adds flavor and helps the veggies cook well. Sprinkle on some dried oregano for that classic Italian taste. Fresh herbs like basil can also add a fresh kick. For a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes. Remember, salt and pepper are key. Just a pinch of each enhances all the flavors. A beautiful pizza looks great on the table. After baking, slice it into colorful wedges. Use a bright platter to showcase the rainbow of veggies. For an extra touch, add fresh basil leaves on top. A sprinkle of chili flakes can add color and flair. This makes your pizza not just tasty but also pretty. Your family and friends will love the look and taste of your rainbow veggie pizza! {{image_4}} You can mix up the veggies for your Rainbow Veggie Pizza. Try using zucchini, mushrooms, or carrots for a new twist. Cauliflower or broccoli work well too. These options add different flavors and textures. Experiment with seasonal vegetables to enjoy fresh, local produce. A colorful mix makes your pizza even more appealing. If you want a vegan version, skip the mozzarella cheese. Use a vegan cheese alternative or nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste. For gluten-free choices, select a gluten-free pizza crust. Many stores sell these now. You can also make one from cauliflower or chickpea flour. Get creative with your toppings! Add fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley for added flavor. You can also sprinkle seeds, like sunflower or pumpkin, for a crunch. For a kick, try jalapeños or red pepper flakes. A drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving adds a sweet touch.

Place the wrapped slices in an airtight container. This helps keep the pizza fresh. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to eat the pizza, reheating it is key. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10 minutes. This helps the crust stay crisp. You can also use a skillet. Heat it over medium heat and cover it with a lid. This keeps the cheese gooey and delicious. If you want to save pizza for later, freezing is a great option. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap tightly, then place in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as you can. This prevents freezer burn. You can freeze it for up to two months. To reheat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, use the oven method to bring back that fresh taste. For all the details, check the Full Recipe.

Ingredients
  

1 pre-made whole wheat pizza crust

1/2 cup rich pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup assorted bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), thinly sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/4 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature will help achieve a perfectly crispy crust.

    Prepare the Crust: Take your whole wheat pizza crust and place it flat on a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for optimal cooking.

      Spread the Sauce: Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the pizza sauce across the crust, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.

        Layer the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage for that gooey, melty finish.

          Artful Veggie Arrangement: For a stunning presentation, artistically arrange the sliced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in overlapping circles on top of the cheese.

            Add Leafy Greens: Gently layer fresh spinach leaves atop the colorful vegetables, followed by the slices of black olives and chopped artichoke hearts.

              Season & Drizzle: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the assembled toppings. Sprinkle with dried oregano, and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste for added flavor.

                Bake to Perfection: Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust has turned golden brown.

                  Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges.
