Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
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).
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.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 7-10 minutes, or until it starts to turn lightly golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the gluten-free pizza sauce over the base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
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.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable toppings for added flavor.
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.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free veggie pizza!
