- Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C) for 30 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Toss sliced peppers, onions, corn, and jalapeños in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Roll or stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to parchment paper.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, sprinkle with garlic powder. Add mozzarella and cheddar, followed by the sautéed veggies, olives, and chili flakes.
- Cook to Perfection: Slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese bubbly.
- Finishing Touches: Drizzle remaining olive oil around the crust. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice it hot and share the joy—every bite is a celebration.
Notes
- Pre-cook watery veggies like mushrooms to avoid soggy crust.
- Use parchment paper to make transferring the pizza easy and mess-free.
- Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set.
