No, I can't eat dairy..or wheat...or soy.... but yes, I can eat pizza!

SO this is a total gluten-free hack- and yes, sometimes- LOTS of times, I cheat. Where we live right now, we really don't have storage space for pantry staples (including my favorite flour blends), so if I really want to make bread of any sort this is my go-to mix. Normally, though, I do prefer to make my own gluten free mixes- especially high-protein blends... anywho, today was a day I could do everything from scratch, and the much loved and revered child was pestering for pizza for days, so this is what I came up with. Hubs says this is hands down the best pizza I have made to date ( with my rice crust pizza a close second. I say it's all in the sauce, but whateverrrr). This is not vegan, but with a flax egg, it could be...

 That there is what all I used...

 This would be my cheat 'crust'

 ...and yes, it worked very, very well

 half of this pizza was actually with dairy, as the much-revered child will not eat daiya shreds (can't blame him when the real thing is somuch more delicious)

 so I, in all my Girl Scout glory, cut the crust in half and made myself an allergen barrier

this stuff went really, relleh fast. I saved hubs a slice, and he requested MORE! for dinner. 

The secret to a really good pizza crust? Using my super secret olive oil blend in the mix....

The only deviation I really made to the instructions on the box was to add an extra Tbs of oil- that helps to make the starches nice and elastic; other than that, it's as simple as can be. Also,I keep a bulb of roasted garlic (did you know you can do this in the microwave?) in an airtight container in the fridge at all times- so adding a couple of cloves to my pizza sauce was an easy peasy way to dress up a jarred sauce. I made sure that my half had lots of veg so as not to feel guilty about eating almost half a dang pizza (ok- in all fairness it is about the size of a 'small' at a pizzeria)- and hubs had a 'supreme' version too.

 

What have you made lately that was super easy and not bad for you?
