It is easy to prepare an artisan pizza for those of us who are following a gluten-free diet. Our sample is a take on a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The crust (made by Schär® and found in the natural food aisle at the supermarket) bakes up crisp, crunchy but more importantly – flavorful.
A year ago, the family had to make an overnight strict diet change for my elderly mother. In this particular instance, it was not about Celiac disease. Mom had to find any way possible to reduce carbs and control sugar levels due to a pre-diabetic diagnosis.
To date, the most difficult change has come in the form of finding tasty bread for breakfast and sandwiches as well as a tasty crust for Friday night pizzas. Allow me to re-phrase it to “bread or dough with an acceptable texture”. This is not an easy task but it is nice to know that good bread and flavorful pizza crust can be found on the supermarket shelves. Look for the name Schär®.

It is just as easy to prepare the “works” pizza seen below with a combination of store bought ingredients and a little bit of cooking. Today, Pillsbury® was good enough to have two choices of ready made pizza dough in the cold case: for a classic pizza and a thin crust style.
Both pizzas can be made gluten-free or regular. They take a few minutes more to prepare versus opening a box and removing the shrink wrap, but you will never reach for a frozen pizza again. Especially when you can doctor the toppings to please all those taste buds.

Wait till you see the pizza that started my kitchen adventures! This one should not be allowed on any diet but we’ll skip the formalities for this weekend’s special occasion. It is reserved for family gatherings.
