Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
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.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Spread the cooked sausage and veggie mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the pizza sauce over the sausage and veggie mixture, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce layer.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to blend the dry ingredients.
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.
Pour the batter over the cheese layer in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and puffed.
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.
Slice and serve your upside-down gluten-free pizza warm. Enjoy!
