Easy Tasty Gluten free pizza

 Ingredients:

  • Gluten free pizza dough (I like Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni
  • red onion
  • Italian seasoning or bread-dipping herbs
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions:
  1. Follow the instructions on your gluten free pizza mix.  Most of them require that you pre-bake the crust for 7-10 minutes prior to adding sauce and toppings.
  2. Remove pre-baked crust from oven and spray a little olive oil on the crust and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  3. Top with pizza sauce of your choice.
  4. Next add your cheese.  I like full-fat mozzarella because it is really chewy and delicious.
  5. Finally add your toppings.  You can add whatever you have handy - veggies, meatballs, bacon, chicken.  I like pepperoni and onion.
  6. Bake your masterpiece at 450 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden.
Notes:
  1. You can pre-bake the crust in advance, wrap in foil and place in the freezer for when you need it.  You can let it thaw for 20 minutes before you need it.  This will save a lot of time if you want a quick weeknight meal.
  2. You can best handle the gluten free dough with wet hands.  Using flour just makes it stickier.
  3. It's easier to press the crust into the pan with your wet hands.  Gluten free crust tends to stick to the rolling pin and make a mess.  I've even tried to roll it with parchment paper, but it still sticks.
  4. Bob's Red Mill pizza crust has a little more "chew" to it, making it more like regular pizza crust.  I have found that many gluten free brands are more like a cracker and very dry.

Bluevua RO100ROPOT Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter

Image
  I bought this machine to purify my own drinking water at home and get away from all of the plastic bottles we have. It is super-easy to use and the water is crisp and clean tasting. You just fill the tank, set the amount of water you want and hit the start button. It is very important to remember that you have to dump out the water from the tank after each use.   It is a little lopsided due to the filter cartridges being on one side, but it’s easy enough to move around. I love that we are helping the planet. It will pay for itself in no time.

Place in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until crispy.

If you don’t have bread-dipping herbs, you can use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano and dried basil.
