Today's recipe uses store-bought whole wheat pizza dough to make a vegetarian pizza with sauteed onions, peppers and goat cheese.

Ingredients:
1 3/4 pounds whole-wheat pizza dough
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
Grated parmesan cheese
2-3 medium onions
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 medium fresh peppers
2 large cloves of garlic
1 Tbs fresh chopped thyme
Olive oil
Black pepper (optional)

Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and then peel, halve and thinly slice the medium onions and also deseed, quarter and thinly slice the fresh peppers. Any color pepper can be used.

Saute it all in a large nonstick pan in a little olive oil, with the green onion, minced garlic cloves and fresh-chopped thyme.

While keeping an eye on the vegetables, roll the pizza dough out on a floured surface and transfer that rectangular shape to an oiled baking tray and let that rest as the vegetables finish up.

After the onions and peppers have been cooking along for 10 minutes or so, turn the heat off and let them cool down.

At that point, transfer that mixture to the top of the pizza, sprinkle on the crumbled goat cheese and grated parmesan cheese, add a crack of black pepper if you like, drizzle the outside edge of the dough with olive oil and pop the tray into the preheated oven.

It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to bake.
