Instructions

Preparation

1Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking steel inside, if using, for at least 30-45 minutes. This high temperature is crucial for a New York-style crisp crust.
2Lightly flour a pizza peel or a large cutting board. Roll out the pizza dough into a thin, roughly 14-inch circle. The dough should be thin enough to achieve that signature foldable New York crust.
3Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle the dough with garlic powder and dried oregano.

Assembly & Baking

1Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.
2Distribute half of the shredded low-moisture mozzarella over the sauce, ensuring good coverage for that classic New York cheese pull.
3Arrange the sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli florets evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
4Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven, either directly onto the pizza stone/steel or onto a hot baking sheet.
5Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly charred in spots. The high heat helps achieve the desired crust texture typical of New York pizzas.
6Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the cheese to set and prevents toppings from sliding off.

Tips

For extra flavor, lightly sauté the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes before topping the pizza to soften them slightly.
If you don't have a pizza stone, use an inverted heavy baking sheet preheated in the oven. This helps create a crisp bottom crust.
Serve with a side of red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese for an authentic New York pizza parlor experience.
