Want gluten free pizza? Unfortunately gluten is found inside pizza dough. This causes pizza to be a very poor choice when trying to lose weight and trim up. The gluten mixed with the high amount of carbs and calories AND the cheese is not the best combination. But... pizza is delicious, isn't it? So how can we re-create pizza so it is a tad bit healthier for us? The answer: remove the gluten and switch to rice cheese!
Gluten Free Pizza does exist and it isn't difficult to make. With gluten-free dough, rice cheese and some healthy veggies for toppings, you can make a world of difference in the quality of your pizza! It will be much healthier!
Below I've included my recipe for a delicious, easy to make pizza with no additives!
Jenni's Pizza Crust
1 cup hot water and 1 pack yeast (place yeast pack in hot water till it becomes frothy. Water should be about 130 degrees)
3 Cups Pamela's baking mix
2 Tablespoons Whole Foods Pizza Spice, Italian Seasoning, OR Trader Joe's "21 Season Solute"
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Agave
Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl except cheese and pepperoni. Kneed into a ball and use rolling pin to roll it out into pizza shape, about ¼" thick. Remember, thin crust will cook FASTER. (You want this dough soft but not STICKY. If as you mix and kneed it sticks A LOT to your fingers, add more Gluten-Free flour.)
Place dough on a greased (use Ghee) cookie sheet and place in preheated oven for 15 minutes, Remove from oven, add sauce and toppings. Bake for 10-15 minutes until crust is golden on edges and cheese is melted. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
