Family Pizza Night!

What can I say? We LOVE pizza at our house! However, it has been a little more difficult finding some pizza that my 19month old enjoys since it has to be gluten free for him. On our family pizza nights I make one pizza that is gluten free and one that is not. Enjoy! :)

Gluten Free Pizza:

Sometimes the gluten free crusts are just so chewy or flat out have no taste at all! I have been browsing Pinterest and had pinned a while back a pizza that had a cauliflower base. After looking at several cauliflower crust pizza recipes I took the similarities from all and just meshed them for the one I make. I was very surprised at just how good it was! My husband is SUPER picky and he even agreed it was quite tasty! It's so easy and CHEAP to make! Here it is;

Cauliflower pizza crust
2 cups of grated raw cauliflower
1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 425. Steam grated in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Let the excess water drain on a paper towel when done. Combine all the ingredients. It WILL NOT look or have the consistency of dough! Lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking pan and grease it extremely well so it doesn't stick at all. I greased mine with a bit of coconut oil. Next you will pour the mixture onto the parchment paper and spread it into a thin circle shape. Bake in the over for 20mins. After it has baked top with your choice of toppings and return to the oven until toppings are melted and done. Enjoy! :)



Non-gluten free crust:

Me and bread just do not mix well at all. I can't tell you how many pizza crust recipes I have tried and none of them really turn out very good. I found one again, on pinterest that is made from greek yogurt and thought I would give it a try. The original recipe is super simple so I added a little extra to it. We LOVE it!

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust:
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup SELF-RISING flour
dash of Italian seasoning
dash of garlic seasoning
1 tsp of olive oil

Preheat oven to 425. Stir greek yogurt and flour together until it forms large clumps, put a bit of flour on your hands and begin kneeding the dough until it is well combined and can easily be formed into a ball. Add the seasonings and olive oil, kneed into the dough and again, form a ball of dough. Grease a piece of parchment paper pressing the dough out as flat and circular as you can (It helps to press it out with another piece of parchment paper on top so it doesn't stick). Bake in the oven for 12-15mins or until dough is cooked (check the bottom). Now remove from the oven and add toppings of your choice. Pop back into the oven until toppings are done. Enjoy! :)
