French Style Extra Crispy Thin Crust Ratatouille Pizza

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) with a pizza stone or baking tray inside for extra crispiness.

2. 2

   Slice the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion into very thin rounds or strips.

3. 3

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly sauté the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion for 3-4 minutes until just softened. Set aside.

4. 4

   Roll out the thin pizza dough to your desired shape, aiming for a very thin crust (about 2-3 mm thick).

5. 5

   Place the rolled dough on a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer.

6. 6

   Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

7. 7

   Arrange the sautéed vegetables evenly over the sauce.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the vegetables.

9. 9

   Scatter the fresh thyme leaves on top for aroma and flavor.

10. 10

    Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated stone or tray.

11. 11

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and extra crispy and the cheese is bubbling.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven, let cool for 2 minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
