Pizza Dough:

Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 10

• 1 tsp salt
• 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 5/4 cups warm water

French Onion Topping:

• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Pizza Sauce:

• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Pizza Assembly:

• 1 cup vegan cheese shreds (such as vegan mozzarella or cheddar)
• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle or the desired pizza shape and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they become soft and caramelized about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Mix the tomato sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the pizza sauce. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the prepared pizza dough. Top the pizza with the caramelized onions, spreading them evenly across the surface. Sprinkle the vegan cheese shreds over the onions.

Bake the French Onion Pizza in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired. Slice the pizza into ten pieces and serve warm.
