Veggie Pizza

This recipe is a favorite for the Miller House:

We love pizza at the Miller house-- it's so versatile and works great as a meat-free option on Fridays. Use the base recipe below for your dough and then add whatever toppings you like. Some of our favorite non-meat toppings are:

• The McCallister: only sauce and cheese (popular with the 8 year old!)

• Margherita: fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil

• Fig and rosemary

• Roasted red pepper, artichokes, spinach and feta (olives optional)

• Mushrooms and peppers

• Ricotta and roasted garlic

Master Pizza Dough Recipe

8. ) Once 24 hours has passed, pull out the dough until it comes to room temp about two hours.
