(Gluten-free) Homemade Pizza
Don’t let the title containing “gluten-free” make you think this pizza isn’t delicious. Sometimes, when I’m feeling like something cheesy, I can’t resist the thought of a delicious, homemade pizza! Pizza nights in our home provide a tasty way to decompress after a long day, even since we went gluten-free. This recipe is good with just cheese and pepperoni or with any multi-veggie creation you can imagine. I love artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, garlic, and basil. The dough is even good made a day or two ahead of time. If you like this recipe and want other ideas, check out my blog: makingmindfulness.blogspot.com for healthy gluten-free recipes.
