- In the bowl or on a floured work surface, knead the dough with your hands for 3 – 4 minutes. Let rest while you prepare the veggies.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat and sauté the onions, mushrooms, and bell pepper for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium and cook another 7 – 8 minutes or until the veggies are quite tender, stirring regularly. Deglaze with the maple syrup, stir, and remove from the heat.
- Stretch out the pizza dough and place on the baking tray.
