GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA

Before I became dairy-free, I thought that a pizza was simply not a pizza without cheese. In fact, pizza was one of the many foods that I thought I would have to cease eating earlier this year. Now I haven’t eaten fast-food pizza for years; I’m referring to delicious homemade pizza, without bucket loads of oil and flour in them. With a few busy nights last week, I was at a loss for what to make for dinner. My gorgeous mother had stocked my pantry with potatoes and gluten-free pizza bases just that morning (I love living close to her), hence came my idea for Potato & Rosemary pizza. The Antipasto pizza is similar to my past homemade pizza creations. Without tooting my own horn at all, I think these pizza’s tasted better without cheese. If you are dairy-free and can’t live without cheese on pizza, try grating some hard goat’s cheese on the pizza or some goat’s or sheep’s feta. Unfortunately the images are not my own as my pizza photos are having a hard time loading but they will be up soon.
