If you can't get your kids to eat peppers in a salad, you might try this pizza. Even without tomato sauce, this is still a red pizza.

Time 30m

Yield Makes one 12- to 14-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large red peppers, roasted
1 to 2 garlic cloves, to taste, minced
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1/2 recipe whole wheat pizza dough (see recipe)
1 large green pepper, sliced in rings
4 ounces mozzarella, sliced thin
1 ounce slivered Parmesan
2 tablespoons slivered fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with a baking stone in it.
  • Peel the roasted red peppers, remove the seeds and membranes (holding the peppers over a bowl to catch the juices), and slice in thin strips. Toss in the bowl with the juices, salt and pepper to taste, the garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Roll out the dough, and line a 12- or 14-inch pizza pan. Brush all but the rim of the dough with the remaining olive oil. Arrange the green pepper rings over the dough. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and top with slices of mozzarella, placing the cheese inside and between the pepper rings. Distribute the roasted peppers over the surface of the pizza, and drizzle on the juice remaining in the bowl. Return to the oven for five to 10 minutes, until the crust is nicely browned and the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven, scatter the shaved Parmesan and the basil over the top, and serve.

This pizza was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese.

This pizza was really easy to make and it turned out great! I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and the pizza came out perfectly.

I tried this recipe but I had some trouble with the dough. It was too sticky and difficult to work with. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This pizza was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some different toppings.

I've made this pizza several times now and it's always a favorite. The roasted peppers add a nice smoky flavor and the mozzarella cheese is always melted and gooey. I highly recommend this recipe!
