Make the Dough:
In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Assemble the Pizza:
Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Spread with pizza sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella.
Arrange bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach over the top. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish & Serve:

Add olives, artichokes, or zucchini for more variety.
Use a preheated pizza stone for an extra crispy crust.
Great with dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
