I have tried a variety of gluten-free crusts, but finding a gluten-free, yeast-free pizza crust that tasted like one that was not was impossible. It has become my holy-grail. Schar's Pizza crust are the best pre-made crust, but contain yeast. Delicious, but made me sick. Rob's Red Mill Pizza crust is fantastic, but requires yeast to make it rise and you have to prep it ahead of time. (Which does not appease a working woman's hungry tummy when she gets home.) Again, it would make me sick. I have been using Chebe's pizza mix which is void of yeast, gluten and corn. It can be prepared without dairy too. This is closer to what I remember pizza to be like, but has it drawbacks. One is that no grocery store carries it in town. I have requested it at two different grocery stores and can't get it. We have to bring back packages from another town 100 miles away. (We travel there to visit friends and always make a quick stop to check out the gluten-free section there.) I also tried a rice based thin pre-made crust with is okay if you are desperate.
Along this journey, I was delighted to find a recipe for pizza soup, that tastes like pizza, but looks nothing like it. I will have to post that another time.
| The box sans pizza |
At work every Tuesday is a pizza day. Which means when I get home, I always want to eat pizza. Today was no exception. I preheated the oven, got out my pizza stone, my gluten-free cornmeal, the frozen pizza and the oregano.
| I had low expectations and couldn't believe my eyes when the totally cooking time was 12-15 minutes. It was a first, a "real" cooking time. |
Once it was ready, I couldn't wait to cut it and eat it.
| The final product |
Even with the oregano, the pizza lacked pizzaz. It didn't leave you wanting more. I decided to add some garlic powder to the extra pieces.
When I reheated the leftovers, the garlic was exactly what it needed.
