Healthy Cooking

I made the best gluten free homemade Pizza Friday...here is the recipe,

Gluten free Red Mill Pizza crust mix. (This mix makes 2 pizza crusts and freezes well)
follow the directions and make both pizza doughs and set aside. Don't start
the oven until the sauce is complete.

SAUCE:
4 Tomatoes
1/2 large zucchini
1 green pepper
1/2 lg. white onion
1 whole garlic chopped
hand full of fresh basil chopped
hand full of fresh Oregano chopped
1/2 cup frozen spinach or 1 cup fresh
salt & pepper to taste
3 tablespoons EVOO

Cut all veggies and herbs to 1/2 inch size and cook on med heat until they all get mooshy soft. It may take about 45 minutes. You want to cook it slow so all of the seasonings cook into the sauce. Then pour it into a Food processor and mix until there are no chunks and it becomes a paste. This may take a minute or more. When that is done you can pour it back into the pan set on low.

TOPPINGS:    (Or what ever you like however this is what is on the pizza in the photo)


1 ball Fresh Mozzarella, slice thin and grate a hand full
1 whole Fresh Pineapple, slice thin
1/2 lb. of Organic ham or Canadian Bacon slice thin
1 lg. fresh Tomato (sliced for after pizza is cooked)
6 Lg. mushrooms, slice thin
1/2 thin slices green pepper
Fresh chopped Basil

The key is to bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until crispy and light brown on 425. Put a light coating of EVOO on the crust before you put it in the oven. After you cook the crust start with the sauce, put 4 large scoops onto the crust (or more if you like sauce but because its homemade it will cause liquid to come off the pizza when its cooked) Then start with the cheese. The cheese should be thinly sliced and lay along the whole pizza. shred some for the top at the end. Then layer with the meat, pineapple, sliced mushrooms, green pepper and basil. Sprinkle the leftover Mozzarella over the top. Place into preheated oven and bake until golden brown on top. You may need to soak up some liquid with a paper towel during the cooking of this pizza. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice the pizza and stick it back into the warm oven so it doesn't get soggy.









Enjoy and If you make this pizza please let me know what you think. My family loves it!
