Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Set the dough aside to come up to room temperature. Thinly slice the zucchini crosswise on an angle. Core and thinly slice the sweet pepper crosswise. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, sweet pepper, vinegar and S&P.
Cook & coat the beef
In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through. Add ¼ of the tomato sauce and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Assemble the pizza
On a well-oiled sheet pan, roll or spread the dough to the size of your pan and press into place, making sure there are no thin patches (about ¾ inch thickness). Spread with the remaining tomato sauce. Top with the cheese, vegetables (drain before adding), beef, remaining spices and S&P.
Bake the pizza
Bake the pizza, 16 to 20 min., until the dough is golden and the vegetables are cooked through.
Plate your dish
Divide the pizza (cut into wedges) between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
