I don't pre-cook the veggies, but I do cut them small to medium in size,so they cook and maybe brown a bit, but don't burn. You have to watch it closely so it doesn't burn, so at 8 minutes test it. If the crust still feels soft, go for another minute, and so on. It depends on how thin you make the crust as well. It is an art! Not a science.

As was said, put a baking stone into the oven and heat that, then put the dough on it, and bake the crust alone for a couple minutes, then add toppings and finish baking. A fun alternate is to put a rack over the grill or a campfire, put toppings on a whole wheat or multi grain tortilla, then crisp the tortilla and heat the toppings over the fire. --Deb
