Pizza Party!



Who doesn't love a good pizza? I know that I love the stuff... especially if I feel good after eating it. And that's what's so great about today's recipe! It's pizza you can feel good about!



Years ago when I first found out about all my food allergies (gluten, dairy, yeast, soy, etc.), I thought I'd never again have a good tasting pizza. UNTIL NOW!!! I'm so excited about how this turned out! It wasn't too doughy, chewy, or soggy. The crust was just right – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Please let me know how you like the recipe in the comments below. :)
(Unbaked Pizza Crust)

Printable Recipe

Crust:

  • 1 1/2 c. any Gluten Free Flour (I used a mix of Bob's Red Mill All-purpose Gluten free flour and Brown Rice flour)
  • 1/2 c. Corn Meal (or another 1/2 c. gluten free flour)
  • 2 t. Baking Powder
  • 1/2-1 t. Salt or Garlic Salt (opt.)
  • Dried Italian Herbs, to taste (I used about 1 t. of Rosemary, and a pinch of Thyme, Oregano, and Basil)
  • 1 c. Water
  1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Place all dry ingredients into a large bowl, then slowly add water while stirring. Mix well. You want it to have the constancy of soft play dough. If it's too wet, add a pinch of flour. If it's too dry, add a dash of water.
  3. Place dough on lined baking sheet and press out with fingers or rubber spatula till it's about 1/4 in. thick (thicker for a more "doughy" crust, thinner for a more "crackery" crust). 
  4. Bake crust for 10-20 min. (depending on how thick it is). The crust should be pretty much done.



Pizza Toppings:

  • 1 recipe of Never Fail Red Sauce
  • Toppings of your choice:
    • 1/2 c. Broccoli
    • 1/2 Yellow Zucchini, spiralized
    • 1/2 c. Fresh Tomatoes, sliced or chopped
    • 1/4 c. Sweet Onion, chopped
    • 1/2 c. Pineapple, frozen or fresh
    • 1/2 c. Sweet Corn, frozen or fresh
    • Small bunch of Spinach
    • 2 T. "Parmesan" sprinkle (opt.)
  1. While the crust is baking for its initial 5-10 min., prepare Never Fail Red Sauce. 
  2. When the crust is finished with initial baking time, top with the Red Sauce and then layer on your toppings.
  3. Bake for about 10-20 min. until the crust is golden and the toppings are warmed. Enjoy!
