California Style Vegetable Pizza Recipe

Typically California does not have a native cuisine, it “steals” ideas from other cultures, but often this is centered on abundant, fresh and local produce. It is not unusual to smother a Californian pizza with ranch dressing. With the emphasis on fresh healthy food the Californians typically use a whole wheat dough.
