Ingredients
- 1 package Gluten-free pizza crust mix
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (optional: use dairy-free if needed)
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Zucchini
- 0.25 medium, thinly sliced Red onion

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, prepare the gluten-free pizza crust mix according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves combining the mix with warm water, olive oil, and an egg. Stir until a smooth dough forms.
Lightly dust your work surface with gluten-free all-purpose flour. Place the dough on the surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes. Roll it into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. Parbake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. If you're using a dairy-free alternative, ensure it is evenly distributed.
Arrange the vegetables (red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and black olives) evenly across the pizza. Feel free to add more or less of any vegetable to your liking.
Sprinkle dried oregano and optional crushed red pepper flakes over the top for seasoning.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted (or the dairy-free alternative is bubbling) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the pizza into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
