Love That Pizza Without the Pain

Going GF

For some, eating gluten-free has become a fad, but it is a necessity for those who have a sensitivity to gluten. Gluten-free ingredients have come a long way in the past few years and are often available at your local grocery store. This month, one reader submitted her own gluten-free flour mix. We used it in all recipes calling for flour and were pleasantly surprised how it lacked the grit common in many gluten-free bakery items. Give these recipes a try – we think you’ll agree.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked Inca Red quinoa
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients into large bowl and mix thoroughly, using hands if necessary.
  • Coat a 7x13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Spread dough into dish with fingers.
  • Cook until crust is crispy to the touch in the middle. Avoid hardening the edges.
  • Top with your favorite toppings and return to oven until cheese is lightly browned.

Notes

Note: I like a thicker crust, so I make it in a baking dish. It can also be spread onto a pizza pan.
