Vegetable pan pizza is where most home cooks lose the plot. Raw mushrooms throw water. Raw zucchini throws water. Raw peppers throw less water but still some. The solution isn't fewer vegetables — it's pre-treating them. Sauté the mushrooms until they squeak when you press them. Salt the zucchini and let it drain. Roast or quickly char the peppers if you want extra depth. Feta at the end adds the salty finishing note that pulls it all together. Don't skip it. Pile them on wet and they will slide off the slice as well as steam the crust.

Instant, so it goes in dry with the flour: no warm-water step means no step at which the yeast can be cooked, which is where an active-dry dough most often dies.
