Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage, crumbled
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 small Onion, diced
• 2 cups Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Spread the cooked sausage and veggie mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Pour the pizza sauce over the sausage and veggie mixture, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce layer.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to blend the dry ingredients.

Step 8

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth to create the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and puffed.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife along the edges to loosen, then carefully invert the pizza onto a large serving platter or cutting board.

Step 12

Slice and serve your upside-down gluten-free pizza warm. Enjoy!
