Ingredients

1 16-ounce loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (or more to taste)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
2 medium red and/or yellow tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 small red or green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup sliced olives


Directions

Roll bread dough into a 14-inch circle on a greased 13-inch pizza pan or stone. Brush lightly with olive oil. Mix herbs and salt.

Sprinkle crust with the cheese and about half of the seasonings. Arrange zucchini, tomatoes, pepper, mushrooms and olives on top of cheese. Sprinkle with remaining herb mixture. (If the veggies go on top of the cheese, the pizza doesn't get soggy.) Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until crust is browned and cheese is melted and bubbly.
