Udi’s gluten free pizza crust (found in Whole Foods in the frozen section) is the epitome of one of my most significant blog staples: only share gluten-free foods that could fool you into thinking they aren’t. That includes no gluten-free products that secretly contain cardboard as it’s main ingredient. To those companies, why try to point out our differences even more? It feels like an intended jab at our situation.

I’m getting off my soap box now, I apologize. My point is, Udi’s has it figured out with these pizza crusts. Not to mention, Daiya Foods has also done an amazing job with their lactose free cheese. My pizza nearly tastes like it’s original form! If there is one thing I miss most about my pre-food intolerant years, it’s pizza.. and donuts.. the industry has yet to figure out how to master the gluten & dairy free powdered donut. I will be dreaming of that day until then, as I have been doing so for 9 years..

What do you usually like to top your pizza’s with? I think pizza making with other people can be one of the most fun experiences ever. You get to be spontaneous, creative, and experimental. Hence, my beet pizza that I made a few months ago. Everyone thought “that looks gross” but man, were they wrong. It was so tasty and the best part was I just threw on the foods I was craving that day. Ah, the beauty of homemade pizza.

Ingredients

• 1-2 cups of Daiya Mozzarella cheese
• chopped bell pepper (optional)
• fresh basil
• artichoke hearts, halved
• organic pizza sauce
• pepper
• Go Veggie Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 Udi’s gluten free pizza crust (found in the frozen section of Whole Foods)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
2. On a piece of parchment paper, lay out the pizza crust and slather the sauce – as much as you’d like to cover the whole thing. I used about a cup.
3. Add the cheese to spread evenly.
4. Add veggies and artichokes, sprinkling pepper.
5. Place in the oven for 8 minutes, then add the fresh basil leaves. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
6. Serve when warm and add parmesan.

Easy as pie. Thanks for reading!
