Ingredients

• 1 package Gluten-free pizza crust mix
• 0.75 cup Water (as per crust mix instructions)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce (gluten-free)
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the gluten-free pizza crust according to the instructions on the package. This typically involves mixing the crust mix with water, olive oil, and one egg. Stir until combined, then let it sit for the recommended period (usually 5-10 minutes).

Step 3

Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared parchment-lined pizza stone or baking sheet, shaping it into a 12-inch circle or rectangle as preferred. Use lightly oiled hands or a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes, or until it starts to turn lightly golden.

Step 5

Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the gluten-free pizza sauce over the base, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Top the cheese with an assortment of prepared vegetables: red and green bell pepper slices, red onion, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Distribute them evenly across the pizza to create a colorful topping.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable toppings for added flavor.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 11

Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free veggie pizza!
