1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
– Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
– Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
2. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. **Prepare the Toppings:**
– In a bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, black olives (if using), and fresh basil or parsley. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
4. **Shape the Dough:**
– Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a small circle about 1/4 inch thick.
– Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet.
5. **Assemble the Pizzas:**
– Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on each dough circle. Sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
– Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly over each pizza. Top with more mozzarella cheese if desired.

6. **Bake:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the dough are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. **Serve:**
