Amie's Italian Style Pizza ~ Gluten Free/Dairy Free

Here is an amazing (and easy!) gluten free pizza recipe. It is delicious and reminds me of the trip that Andy and I took to Italy in the Spring of 2004. They pizza that we had there was much different than our "American style" pizzas. The dough was baked with olive oil and fresh rosemary, with vegetables such as potatoes or zucchini baked into the crust. Fresh mozzarella cheese pieces topped it off (no pizza sauce!).

I hope you'll enjoy my gluten free version as much as I do!! You can also make it using regular white flour (omit xanthan gum). I have also omitted the mozzarella cheese to also make this recipe dairy free, but you could easily add it back in.

Green or red peppers - but into small pieces

Zucchini - crinkle cut into small rounds or strips
