Gluten Free Pizza

I did not have high hopes for the gluten-free pizza crust that we picked up at Nila Jo's, the health food store around here.

You have to make the dough yourself, which was the first problem. We're usually pressed for time, so, normally, if we make a pizza, we just use premade crust. As far as I know, there are no gluten-free premade crusts.

The pizza dough mix is made by Namaste Foods. It is called Gluten Free! Pizza Crust Mix and is made in facility that is free of gluten, wheat, soy, corn, potato, peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, casein.

Jamie made the pizza crust. But, first, he had to run to the store to get a pizza pan, tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and he also got chorizo, just to try. Jamie had to grease the pizza pan, preheat the oven, combine the mix with oil and water and beat with an electric blender then smooth the batter onto the pan with a spatula. The directions said to cook the pizza crust for 20 minutes without toppings and 10-15 additional minutes with them.

The pizza exceeded my expectations. As Jamie said, "It tastes like regular pizza."
