Creating a homemade Tomato Pepper Pizza is a delightful culinary adventure that allows for personalized flavors and fresh ingredients. To embark on this culinary journey, start by preparing the pizza dough. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. Slowly add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface, cover, and let it rise for about an hour until it doubles in size.

While the dough rises, you can make a simple tomato sauce. Sauté diced onions and garlic in olive oil until softened, then add crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Simmer the sauce until it thickens. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Spread the homemade tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Now, layer on a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the sauce uniformly. Next, top the pizza with thinly sliced colorful bell peppers for a burst of freshness and vibrant flavors. You can add other toppings like sliced cherry tomatoes, olives, or even red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Once out of the oven, let the Tomato Pepper Pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. The result is a homemade masterpiece with a perfect balance of tangy tomato sauce, gooey melted cheese, and the crispness of the colorful peppers, all nestled on a golden crust. This personalized pizza creation allows you to savor the joy of crafting your own delicious and fresh pizza right from your kitchen.
