make-it-dairy-free challenge Week 4: Pizza

I think that every household with little kids should have a go-to pizza recipe.  We make ours 2 different ways:  traditional crust, and yeast-free "crispy" crust.   Today I'm going to share my crispy do-it-yourself  in under 30 minutes recipe.  It's whole grain, dairy-free, corn-free, and ends up being about 2 Carbs per slice.

I like to serve this with a nice big salad.

Crispy Whole Grain Pizza (crust and toppings)

Crust:

2 cups whole wheat flour (I bet other flour options would work nicely too)

1 tsp Seasalt

2 tsp baking powder*

2/3 cup water

1/4 cup Olive Oil (I usually use coldpressed b/c I like the flavor it imparts)

*1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp cream of tartar yields 1tbsp

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and water.  Put on a pizza stone.  Flatten into a circle with a rolling pin.  Spread oil over the top.

 Sauce and toppings:

1 1/2 cups Italian Red Sauce 

Daiya Mozzarella Shreds (if desired... about 1 cup)

Sliced multi-colored peppers

onion (about 1/2 onion, sliced)

2 links mild italian or country sausage (de-skinned and precooked)

Sliced canned artichokes if desired (not pictured here)

1/2 tbsp fennel seeds

1 tbsp Oregano

Preheat oven to 425f. Mix sauce together with fennel seeds and oregano.  Spread on your flattened pizza crust. Add sausage, pepper, onion, artichokes, and "mozzarella".  Put your pizza in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.  

Enjoy!
