gluten-free Cf Pizza

[Corkdarrr]

So cheese is out. Again. And for real this time. I did it for six weeks, I can do it for...six lifetimes... I suppose.

Anyways, I still love my Kinnickinnick pizza crusts and they're easy to make at work. Plus there's still that emotional connection that I'm getting to eat something resembling a treat.

So. Please, anyone and everyone. What are your ideas for toppings that do not involve cheese and other dairy-type products?

I did do BBQ sauce, BBQ chicken and pineapple one time. It wasn't too bad.

Help me think outside the delicious cheese box!

I think a ranch pizza would be good too.

I'm trying to remember...a friend of mine once made a gorgeous garden salad pizza...I think it was lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and sour cream mixed with a dill spice mixture...sub CF sour cream or yogurt...that would be good too.

I would make a pesto pizza! Easy to make or buy pesto!

Heck, you could just make it like garlic bread and eat it as a side w/ spaghetti or another meal. Mmm, I think it's lunch time!

[Corkdarrr]

I am loving the garlic bread idea. Especially because I'm thinking about spaghetti for dinner tonite again...

What would you put on a ranch pizza?

My dad used to make an awesome one with carmelized onions and mushrooms and bleu cheese. {sob!} I miss bleu cheese.

pizza sauce - garlic (the kind already "minced" I think is what they call it, comes in a jar) - then SPICES galore (oregano, more garlic (garlic powder or garlic salt works nicely) OR there's a blend out there called garlic pepper that's good - parsley - cilantro - etc.

Then maybe slap on some meats (hamburger or turkey burger, cut up hot dogs or sausage meat or pepporoni or some of all of these) -

then there's always the veggies you can add as well (peppers, pineapple (oh wait, that's a fruit)...mushrooms, olives, etc.

THEN one it's cooked and all sliced up I like to dip my individual pieces in ranch! It's SOOO good!

Hope this helps!!!

Also, you could do some kind of desert pizza...apple, blueberry, etc.

Ya might have to look up some desert pizza recipes online and see what you can substitute out and so forth!

Is Kraft ranch gluten AND casein free? That'd be super.

[Turtle]

Awww man, I didn't even think about that....

I have a bottle, hold one:

Shoot, has milk....AGH!

Tell ya what, let me get a hold of my mom to get an e-mail address of someone who may be able to help us/you with dairy ideas. I'll e-mail you later!

[Corkdarrr]

Thanks Turtle - I appreciate it!

And I swear...one of these days we're BOTH going to a meeting!

I would put chicken on a ranch pizza...i bet you could find a recipe for a ranch-type dressing. mmm, mushrooms too, maybe some garlic.

you could also do a mexican pizza...make a really thin crust, and top w/ your fave mexican ingredients! yum!

For me, I would approach it like a focaccia or something. Probably I would drizzle *generous* high-quality olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary and thyme, lightly toasted pine nuts, chopped oil-cured olives, maybe some mushrooms and fresh basil or mint leaves, and snipped sun-dried tomato. Mmmmmmm, yummy

Tomato paste with herbs and a vegan 'cheese' made with cashews and agar would be tasty...

To me, cheese on pizza is overrated. The best part is the sauce...but it has to be a good sauce, and lots of it to compensate for the cheese (if I can't taste the sauce for all the cheese, it's just not good pizza to me.) I'm partial to Boston Pizza...their sauce is zesty. So I say, forget the cheese...you can put anything you darn well want on pizza. Try it with any veggies and/or meat you can think of!

I like breakfast pizza - eggs, sausage, bacon (and soy cheese)

or

Add sugar to the crust and make a PB & J pizza. Yummy!

Mmm, sounds good! You could also make an "apple pie" dessert pizza.

Thanks for all the ideas!

I just bought some more pizza crusts so I have a few to experiment on. I'll let you know if I create anything outstanding.

my husband loves coney pizzas. Coney sauce with meat, onions and mustard drizzled on top.

[tarnalberry]

tomatoe sauce and veggies - all the regular stuff other than the cheese. if it's fresh and you use flavorful herbs, you're probably be fine.

What's Coney sauce?

[new to LI]

how about using either follow your heart cheese (my fav ) or tofutti (not big on the whole hydrogenated oil thing ) but both are gluten-free CF. Follow your heart is a block... easy to shred. tofutti are slices.

This is a recipe search engine, dh likes the a&w coney recipe. I dont eat it though with all of my food intolerances. There is a variety of ways to make them. Its a common pizza sold in our michigan area. It tastes like a coney hot dog. Im not sure if you have coney dog's in south carolina, they are really popular up here and commonly sold with french fries and gravy, not health foods lol

I was thinking it would be good w/out the crust too! I don't know if I could handle the concept of rice on pizza...lol

Although, if you are into funky pizzas, there's a place in Portland, called Pizza Schmizza, which I used to eat at all the time growing up...anyway, they make fun pizzas. I found their menu online, and decided to list my favorite pizzas, which I'm sure could all be made gluten-free and CF!
