Saturday Night Pizza
I’ve only had real pizza a couple of times since being diagnosed with celiac disease, and I sure do miss it. Of all the foods that I can no longer eat, pizza has been by far the one I’ve missed the most. We tried to correct this situation on Saturday and made pizza at home.
My mom left me a Namaste Foods gluten free pizza crust mix which is also dairy and egg free. I have to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from it. But we got out our never used Pampered Chef pizza stone, and made our pizza crust. We also have a plethora of tomatoes, and Jeremy was nice enough to make some tomato sauce from scratch!
We added our homemade tomato sauce, ground beef sauteed with garlic and onions, basil, sauteed onions, and tomatoes to the pizza. We didn’t add any cheese, due to Jake’s dairy allergy. I thought this might make the pizza not seem like a pizza at all, but probably because we eat very little cheese now, I didn’t miss it too much.
This pizza was a huge success, I LOVED the crust, it is a crispy thin crust, which is my favorite kind, and it tasted great. I really couldn’t tell it was gluten free with all of the toppings on it. We liked the pizza so much, we are making one again tonight night, and we don’t even have to buy another mix because the Namaste pizza crust is enough for two 15″ pizzas. I think tonight’s pizza is going to be chicken, bacon, tomato and basil and I predict there will be a lot more pizzas in our future. Thanks for the pizza crust Mom!

where did you get your pizza stone, by the way? I've been wanting to buy one, but can never seem to find one where I'm looking.

Sounds good! We haven't made our own pizza in ages. I was never any good at getting the dough to stay put on the pan. It always wants to shrink up.

This pizza crust was actually strange and I thought I'd done it wrong at first, but it was like a cake batter and you just smeared it over the pan… so there was no way it could shrink up!

I don't have a gluten allergy, but I might just have to try that!
