When I heard I couldn't eat wheat anymore the number one thing that came to my mind was pizza. I have always loved home made pizza! To my surprise, making gluten free pizza is actually pretty easy!
Recipe
2 dl warm water (37C)
0,5dl olive oil
50gr yeast
4-6dl Semper Mix flour
1tsp salt
Start by pouring warm water and the olive oil in a bowl. Add the yeast and let it melt. Start adding the flour. The more flour you add, the easier the dough is to handle, and the thinner the final crust will be. If you use less flour the pizza will become thick, "pan pizza" style. I chose to make thin pizzas, and used a lot of flour. Once you've added the flour and salt, let the dough rise for 1h.
Sauce
1 can (400grams) crushed tomatoes
1 large garlic clove
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2tbs dried oregano
olive oil
Start by heating up the olive oil and adding garlic and cayenne pepper. When you add the spices straight to the oil it will spread and give a nice flavor to the entire sauce. It also takes the edge off (in a good way) both the garlic and cayenne. Add the tomato crush, make sure the oil isn't too hot. Because the crush contains water, you will have tomato-crush fireworks if you pour it in steaming hot oil. It happened to my sister, and it wasn't pretty to clean up. Take my word for it.. Add 1tbs oegano and let the sauce cook for about 20min. The longer the sause cooks, the better the flavor, so be patient and make it while the dough is rising. Finally add an additional tbs of dried oregano.
Make the pizza by pouring the sauce on to the dough (I never preheat the dough) and add whatever you want as filling. This one had ham, chorizo/salami, peppers, pineapple and mushroom. A weird combo to some, but I love it. Finally put shredded mozzarella cheese on and in the oven for say 15min (or when the cheese is melted) at 220C. Finalize the pizza with fresh rucola or parsley, that really makes the difference. Enjoy!
