Do you want gluten-free pizza? Unfortunately, gluten is found within the pizza dough. This makes pizza a very poor choice when it comes to weight loss and slimming down. The gluten mixed with the high amount of carbohydrates and calories AND the cheese is not the best combination. But… pizza is delicious, isn’t it? So how can we recreate pizza to make it a little healthier for us? The answer: cut out the gluten and switch to rice cheese.

Gluten-free pizza exists and it is not difficult to make. With gluten-free dough, rice cheese, and some healthy veggies for topping, it can make a world of difference in the quality of your pizza! It will be much healthier!

Below I have included my recipe for a delicious and easy pizza without additives.

Jenni’s Pizza Dough

1 cup hot water and 1 yeast packet (Place yeast packet in hot water until foamy. Water should be about 130 degrees)
3 cups of Pamela’s baking mix
2 tablespoons Whole Foods Pizza Spice, Italian seasoning, OR Trader Joe’s “21 Season Solute”
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of agaves

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl except cheese and pepperoni. Roll the knee into a ball and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a pizza shape, about ¼-inch thick. Remember, thin crust will cook FASTER. (You want this dough to be soft but not STICKY to your fingers, add more gluten-free flour.)

Put the dough on a greased baking sheet (I used Ghee) and place it in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, add sauce and ingredients. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden around the edges and the cheese is melted. Slice, serve and enjoy!
