I love pizza. I mean LOVE it. When I went gluten-free in 2007, one of the things I missed the most was nice, greasy pizza house pizza (specifically from the York House of Pizza in York, Maine). I shed tears over the notion of never having it again. And for those of you who have tried the frozen gluten-free pizzas, you probably found the same results I did: not worth the money. One way I make it now, after much trial and error, is using the Gluten-Free Bisquick recipe you can find on the box. Of course, as I tend to do with everything, I change it up a bit. The result is a yummy pizza that tastes a lot like normal gluten-filled homemade pies.
Here's what to do:
Pick up some of this
for about $4.99 at the grocery store. Pretty steep, but you can use coupons to save a little. Follow the recipe found on the side of the box for pizza. This box should make 2 pizzas, which is a lot cheaper than the upwards of $12 you can spend on one small one in the freezer section.
I use a round pan to make myself feel like I'm eating real pizza. Be sure to spray the pan. I will admit, spreading this onto a pan is a bit of a challenge, but worth it. The trick I use is to continuously wet your fingers with cold water and spread it with them. Don't worry if there are small holes.
The last thing I do a little different, is to add a little oil to the top after adding the cheese and toppings. It gives it that slightly greasier taste I craved from the inability to eat real pizza.
The results:
