Pizza Pie Day

I know I didn’t get this on the holiday list for February.  How could I miss it?  I think I should start checking the Food Holiday list from The Nibble more often.

Let’s just say I love Pizza.  So do I have a gluten free pizza recipe?  Of course!  This is not my healthiest recipe by any means, but after all it’s  PIZZA!

Cheeseburger Pizza

Crust Ingredients:
2 3/4 c. all purpose gluten free flour
1 T. sugar
1 package quick rise yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water (105-115 degrees, a few drops on your wrist should feel warm but not hot)
2 T. olive oil

Toppings:
1/2 c. barbecue sauce (read label first)
1 lb. hamburger (or soy crumbles if preferred)
2 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 c. shredded lettuce
1/4 c. chopped red onion (or more to taste)
Hamburger dill pickles to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine flour sugar and yeast in a bowl.

Add water and oil and stir to combine ingredients. This will form a dough, it will not be a batter.

Put dough in a 15 inch pizza pan sprayed with pan spray. With damp hands push the dough out to fill the pan. Smooth the top of the dough.

I take one finger dipped in water and draw a slight indentation around the dough about 1/2 to 1 inch in from the outside of the dough. This will help form your crust.

Let dough rise in a warm place in the pan for 30 minutes or until double.

While crust is rising cook your hamburger in a skillet until browned with no pink left.

When crust has doubled bake for 5 minutes.

Remove from oven. Smooth barbecue sauce over top of crust. Add cooked hamburger and cheese.

Return to oven and bake for an additional 15 – 20 minutes.

Remove from oven. Add lettuce, onions, tomatoes and don’t forget the pickles. Serve and enjoy your cheeseburger.
