Preparation:

  3. Roll Out the Dough:
    • On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into circles about 6-8 inches in diameter.

    • Place a generous scoop of the vegetable filling on one half of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. If using, sprinkle with fresh herbs or olives.
