Turmeric Veggie Pizza

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15–18 minutes
Total Time: 30–35 minutes
Servings: 4–6 slices
Oven: 400°F (200°C)

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric

For the toppings:

  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • ½ cup mushrooms, chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the dough:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sea salt, and turmeric. Add the almond milk and ⅓ cup olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead:
    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes. Avoid over-kneading.
  4. Prepare the vegetables:
    Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly. Stir in the garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.
  5. Shape the crust:
    Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and gently press or roll it into a round or rectangular pizza crust, about ¼-inch thick.
  6. Add the sauce:
    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  7. Add toppings:
    Sprinkle the mozzarella over the sauce. Arrange the sautéed mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion evenly across the pizza.
  8. Bake:
    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and lightly bubbly.
  9. Garnish:
    Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Let it cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Serving Tip

Serve warm with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a delicious, veggie-packed meal.

Note: Turmeric adds a warm, earthy flavor and color, but this pizza should be viewed as a nutritious recipe rather than a treatment for inflammation or any medical condition.
