Easy G-Free Pizza


The hubby and I get up everyday at 5 a.m., head to CrossFit, then straight to work. And lately both of us have had pretty hectic work schedules, so by the time Friday evening rolls around we are completely exhausted, I mean come home sit on the couch and don't move all night exhausted. So when I found these pre-made crusts and managed to pull together a decent pizza, they instantly became a staple for our Friday evenings.

There really is no secret to this, except the amazing pre-made Udi's Pizza Crusts! You can literally make these pizzas in 15 minutes, then sit down, kick off your shoes, throw in a good movie, or in our case one of our favorite tv shows, Justified or Blue Bloods, and relax! Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Ingredients:
Udi's Gluten Free Pizza Crusts
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Tomato Sauce
Pinch of sea salt
Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Fresh grated mozzarella cheese
Toppings of choice (we use pepperoni, browned sausage, onions, and mushrooms)



Heat oven as directed on pizza crust instructions. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the pizza crusts on top.

Pour oil on pizza crust and spread using a basting brush, or spoon. Brush oil all over the crust.

Then pour tomato sauce on the pizza, use as much or as little sauce as you like. I prefer to leave about a half inch ring around the pizza crust without sauce so it's easier to eat. Dust the sauce with sea salt, the sprinkle the chopped basil leaves on top and sprinkle with cheese. Again, there is no special amount, just sprinkle as much or as little cheese as you like.



Then top the pizza with your favorite toppings. I'm pretty boring, or so I've been told, so I just like plain pepperoni pizza with browned sausage on top. The hubby likes his pizza to be a little more adventurous, so I add onions and mushrooms to his.


Place the pizza in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, as directed, or until cheese melts.

**I've also tried making our own g-free crusts using gluten free Bisquik but the texture was rather thick and it took about an hour longer to make.
