Roasted Pepper Pizza

This Roasted Pepper Pizza is not only pretty to look at but it tastes delicious as well. I think peppers, onion and cheese make a really good combination. Put that on top of dough  and you get my favorite food ever. Pizza has always been number one on my list but I feel like it doesn’t hurt to pack it with vegetables. I precooked the peppers and onions by roasting it in the oven so it lost moisture and I could fit a lot more on the pizza without compromising the texture and making it watery. It worked out perfectly. There is so much flavor that you don’t need any tomato sauce. I made my own dough by following the recipe on the bag of the yeast packet but you can save yourself some time and use store bought dough. I promise you will love this!
