Gluten Free Veggie Pizza
Pizza night doesn't have to feel like a compromise, and this veggie-loaded pie proves it completely. The crust comes together from a gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and a single egg, producing a dough that's soft and workable — thicker than a batter, but easy to press into a perfect round with oiled hands. Par-baking the crust before adding toppings is the real trick here: it sets the base so you get a golden, firm edge and a bottom that holds its shape when you pick up a slice. From there, oregano-spiked marinara, bubbling mozzarella, and a colorful pile of red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and black olives do all the heavy lifting on flavor. The whole thing serves 4, making it an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing option for anyone at the table who usually has to eat around everyone else's order. A scatter of fresh basil right before serving adds a bright, herby finish that makes it look as good as it tastes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder. Add the warm water, 2 tbsp olive oil, and egg, then stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms — it will be thicker than a batter but softer than a traditional pizza dough.
