Method

1. Make the dough

9. Lightly oil a large baking sheet and set aside
10. Punch down the dough down and divide it in half
11. Turn one of the dough pieces out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten with your hands, turning and flouring frequently, working it into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle
12. Add the pizza sauce to the vegetable mixture, stirring to combine
13. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, if using
14. Spread half of the cooled vegetable mixture across the dough leaving a 1-inch border on all sides
