It's Friday, Friday, gonna eat Pizza on Friday..

Ever since Rebecca Black came out with that song "Friday" it's the only thing I can think of when Friday rolls around.  Sad but true.

I made a homemade pizza tonight for dinner. I can make a pizza from scratch (dough as well) in about 30 minutes. The kids love it over anything from a pizza shop and I know that is it healthy, low fat, no preservative crap, low salt, gluten free...need I go on?

I have the instructions for my pizza on my Facebook site, so you may have seen this before, but here it is again. Now, it may not be cheaper in the end than picking up a 3.99 frozen pizza but is that ultimately better for your body? I think the end cost is 7 dollars, which is less expensive than a boutique pizza joint. So, here it is.....

Want the recipe?

Pizza, it is Gluten Free!!The Gluten Free pizza crusts on the market are expensive and the taste is unpredictable.Why not make your own, GF, homemade pizza. It’s amazing, every time. It’s cheap, and non greasy.


Batter(yup, not dough)
 ¾ cup GF biscuit mix (Bob’s Red Mill)
¾ cup pancake GF mix (bulk barn)
2 large eggs
¾ cup luke warm water(more/less)
½ tsp salt
Whaz is up in the mixer, it will be a thick batter, sort of like toothpaste.

Trust Me Step*
 Spread batter in a NON greased non-stick  8” pan
Once evenly spread turn on stove top to med high

Still Trust Me, “It’s Okay” Step
 Batter will begin to bubble and cook like a pancake and pull away from edges of pan.

Bottom will brown up nicely; turn down stove to stop it burning.

Let’s Decorate Step
 While it’s burbling away, and you are still thinking this is madness, decorate your pizza like you normally would…sauce, cheese, veg, and pepperoni….whatever you like.

Turn on the Broiler to Lo Step
 The bottom of the crust should be nicely browned and cooked with all the toppings, well, on top!
Turn your broiler on Lo. Set the rack up to 7-8 inches away.

Whack it in the Oven Step
 Put the whole pan (I hope you had a pan with good handles!) under the broiler and leave the oven door slightly jar.

It’s done when your cheese looks all bubbly and awesome!

Impress your Family and Friends Step
 Take the pizza out of the oven, and turn it onto a cutting board. 

Slice and serve.

This is the best pizza, takes no time to do.

Who said Gluten Free didn’t taste good?

*the idea for baking dough in a pan is from Jamie Oliver. All hail Jamie Oliver!
