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.

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality…
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”–– Martin Luther King, Jr.

If we Only Have Love

“Meditation is the only royal road to the attainment of freedom. It is a mysterious ladder which reaches from earth to heaven, from error to truth, from darkness to light, from pain to bliss, from restlessness to abiding peace, from ignorance to knowledge. From mortality to immortality.”
