Gluten Free Pizza
When you are not only sensitive to wheat, but corn, soy and nuts it is very difficult finding a ready made crust. I have been using Nature's Highlights brown rice pizza crust for a few years now. It only contains two ingredients (brown rice and potato).
This is a healthy option, but it of course does not taste exactly like a doughy gluten pizza many are used to. The brown rice gives the crust a chewy texture with a mild nutty flavor.
The crust does need to be put in the oven for a few minutes before topping. The texture will be much better if you follow the directions on the box for heating before adding toppings. Next, for the sauce I used Dave's Gourmet butternut squash pasta sauce, which is gluten free. It is absolutely delicious with the crust. The sauce has red bell pepper pureed in to give it a nice kick. I used a garlic herb yogurt cheese for a bit of extra flavor and sprinkled some parmeasean on top. You could really top with a variety of different items, but I used yellow and red bell peppers, red onion and torn basil.
