Hello all, I must apologize for failing to update my
blog. In the past few months, I’ve
been consumed by rotations and exams. To kick off my return to blogging, I made gluten free pizza
with garlic, basil, chipotle shrimp, and feta cheese.
Pizza is an American necessity to me. Not only is it full of cheesy goodness, but it also encompasses all the important food groups: carbs, veggies, meats, diary… and some fat (nutritionists may disagree with me on this).
The best part about homemade pizza is the toppings. This is where you can let your
creativity run free. In this
recipe I use my favorite ingredients – fresh garlic and tomatoes with
basil. When preparing this dish, I
like to bury the basil under the cheese so that it enriches the tomato sauce while
it bakes. The fresh garlic gives
the pizza a rich aroma when it roasts in the oven. I took the flavors an extra step by adding spicy chipotle
shrimp with tangy feta cheese. And to
include a serving of veggies, I incorporated sautéed onions and green peppers
for color and crunch. The end
result was delicious.
I did cheat on making the dough and used Bob’s Red Mill
gluten free pizza mix along with a bread machine. The bread machine is very handy; it provides the perfect
temperature for the dough to rise. Below is the recipe. Bon appétit!
