The reason I love pizza so much, is because it’s like a blank canvas, where you can create anything you can imagine. Really the combinations are endless, more than any other type of food. I mean, you can’t have fruity pasta, but fruity pizza YUM. Or revamping any ethnic dish to be in pizza form, pad thai pizza, jerk chicken pizza, greek salad pizza. My favourite pizza though is spicy perogi pizza, which is a carb explosion of potatoes and classic pizza dough bathed in spicy goodness and b-b-b-bacon. You never feel too hot afterwards though, it’s one of those meals that leaves you feeling hungover the next day. This pizza problem is alleviated with the invention of this amazing grain and gluten-free pizza dough by The Domestic Man. How’s about you go here for the recipe and to check out his amazing blog laden with wonderful recipes of all healthy varieties. The recipe does contain dairy but you can substitute it with coconut milk and nutritional yeast. I just used a nice raw parmesan and some organic spicy cheddar and my belly felt just fine afterwards.
Todays pizza creation included a smoky yam & bacon version and a truffle, rosemary, oyster mushroom and fresh watercress version.
Both were lovely on this thin, crispy, flavourful crust.
