How to Make Garden Fresh Veggie Pepperoni Pizza
This pizza recipe is very easy to make! I started with pre-made refrigerated pizza dough and topped it with an easy garlic & basil pesto mixture. Next, I added some shredded mozzarella cheese followed by a hefty serving of fresh veggies and herbs.
I placed pepperoni in between the veggies and sprinkled a little salt and pepper on top before popping it in the oven.

If you want a shiny, golden-brown crust, brush the edges of the pizza with an egg wash before baking. Bake the pizza for about 20-22 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden-brown.
Before serving, add a few fresh basil leaves on top. It gives it the PERFECT finishing touch! This Garden Fresh Veggie Pepperoni Pizza is so fun to make and assemble because it’s so colorful and pretty! And very tasty too!
