FRESH VEGETABLE PIZZA
This a very yummy and refreshing appetizer! I have made it for team luncheons at work for some of my vegetarian friends. Also when some friends have given up meat for lent, this has been something I have brought in that they love. I have served at many parties and brunches.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Separate dough into 4 long rectangles. Place rectangles crosswise in un-greased 15 x 10 jelly roll pan or big cookie sheet works too. Press over bottom and 1 inch up sides to form a crust (you don't have to do that I have done it both ways and I choose not to do a crust since I use this as an appetizer). Seal perforations. Bake for 14 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Cool Completely.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, horseradish, salt and pepper and blend till smooth. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Top with mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, green pepper and onions.
- 3. Cut into appetizer size pieces. Refrigerate leftovers. Can make a lot of appetizers depending on the size you cut them (pizza cutter works good).
Tips:
- Use fresh vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better your pizza will taste. Try to use vegetables that are in season and at their peak ripeness.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When you're adding toppings to your pizza, don't go overboard. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook.
- Use a light touch with the sauce: Too much sauce will make the pizza soggy. Use a light hand when applying the sauce, and make sure to spread it evenly over the dough.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust will be. Bake the pizza at the highest temperature your oven will allow.
- Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking: Pizzas can cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them while they're baking. Check the pizza frequently to make sure it's not overcooking.
Conclusion:
Fresh vegetable pizzas are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy pizza. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect fresh vegetable pizzas at home. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try!
