Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Lightly coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or round baking pan with olive oil.
Press the dough into the pan, working it up the sides to form a deep crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust. In a small bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then evenly distribute them over the cheese. Place the pepperoni slices on top if using. Pour the pizza sauce on top and finish by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella along with dried basil and oregano.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil.
