Everyone loves pizza.  It’s the ultimate comfort food and I dream about the amazing pizzas of my gluten-eating past.  Specifically, Neapolitan pizza with its thin, slightly charred crust, San Marzano tomatoes, and cheesy topping, these pizzas are a fond yet distant memory. 

Here’s a homemade flatbread pizza that’s gluten-free, fast, and delicious.  The uber-thin crust is nice and crispy and pretty light in calories, yet once loaded up with your favourite toppings, it totally satisfies the pizza craving.  So next time you’re at the grocery store, forget those expensive frozen gluten-free pizza crusts and look for these tortillas (sometimes in the frozen health food aisle), which are also perfect for making wraps and crackers.  While it’s no Neapolitan pizza, this flatbread can be made at home in a toaster oven. I used to be a line cook at my university pub where we would make a gazillion pita bread/garlic butter/shredded cheese appetizers that inpired my gluten-free version – just one of the many useful things I learned during my quest for a higher education.

I’m not even sure you call this a ‘recipe’  but you take a brown rice tortilla from Food for Life, add your favourite toppings, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.  Slice and serve.

The pizza in this post was made with garlic butter, sliced mushrooms, and goat mozzarella and garnished with fresh arugula, basil, chili flakes and truffle oil.  All of my fave ingredients and perfect with a bowl of tomato soup or a fresh salad.
