Pizza Toppers to finish the pizza:

• Mozzarella
• Peppers – thinly sliced
• Mushrooms (par cooked to remove moisture)
• Broccoli – no stems
• Black Olives - sliced
• Sweet onions – thinly sliced
• Basil - chiffonade

Assembly:

1. After the crust is done baking, let cool for a little to room temp – add whatever sauce you want (I did half and half).  
2. For the béchamel side I put the veggies on the sauce and covered with mozzarella; for the marinara side I put the cheese on the sauce and then added the veggies.  Then I applied the basil. 
3. Remove the parchment and bake at 400°F for additional 10-12 minutes.  

*Notes:  There was oregano in the recipes, but since I don’t like it I didn’t put any in.  If there is too much sauce (which there probably will be), it can be frozen.
