Serves:- 2 Family size Pizza or 3 Medium Size Pizza
Procedure:
Dough:  
First Mix water, sugar and yeast together in a bowl and keep it a side for sometime till it starts to foam. Mix the flour and salt together and add water (the one in which we had mixed the yeast and sugar earlier) and make it in a smooth dough. Add the olive oil in between while making the dough. Now when the dough is done, keep it in a bowl and cover the bowl with a towel. Set it aside and let it rise for 15 mins. 

Toppings:  
Cut the Veggies in your own desired shape/size.

Preparing and Baking the Pizza:
Preheat the Oven for 15 mins at 450 degrees.
Once the dough is ready take 1/3rd part of the dough and make a ball out of it. Sprinkle some flour over the rolling surface and place the dough ball over it and roll out the pizza dough over the rolling surface with the rolling pin. Try to make out a round shape out of it and spray some olive oil over the surface of the pizza stone (or you can also use pizza tray or a flat baking tray). Now place the pizza base over the pizza stone. On the base apply a thin layer of fine hummus, then put one layer of the pizza sauce, and now put the mozzarella cheese. Further put the veggies of your choice over the pizza and sprinkle the goat cheese over the veggies. If you like to put spinach put it over the layer of pizza sauce (before sprinkling the mozzarella ) Now put the pizza in the oven and bring the temp. of the oven to 350 degrees. Let the pizza bake for 15 mins.

Take the pizza out and carefully cut it into slices. And now your delicious Pizza is ready to serve.
If you like you can also sprinkle crushed red peppers and crushed oregano leaves over the pizza before eating.
Tip:If you like the taste of fire roasted veggies, Before taking out the pizza put it on high Broil for 2 mins. This will give a real crispy taste to your veggies
