Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Gluten-free pizza crust mix
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Tomato sauce
- 3 medium Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free pizza crust mix, warm water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the egg. Mix well until a dough forms.
Lightly grease a pizza pan with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough on the pan and spread it evenly with your fingers, creating an even crust across the pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes to set the base.
While the crust is baking, prepare the marinara sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir and let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the crust is pre-baked, remove it from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust.
Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
