Healthier, Gluten-free Pizzas!

Healthier Gluten-free Pizzas

These turn out crunchy and tasty! You can top them however you like, we mix it up depending on what we have in the fridge, or in this case what looked good/easy whenI  stopped at the  grocery store afetr work. These are done pretty quickly if you have ingredients ready.

 Teff Wraps. Pre-heat Oven to 400 degrees F. Place wraps on a baking sheet, spray top with Pam/cooking spray (this helps them crisp, I think. Bake on rack close to top of oven for 5 minutes, flip over and bake another 4-5 minutes (watch so they don't burn).
 Baked wraps. They get really crunchy this way, so yummy. We have experimented with a lot of different wraps, these are my favorite.


 The Sauces we used this time, as I said, I was at the store, it was late, things looked good. They are all fairly low fat and don't contain  high fructose corn syrup (and were on sale).




Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey sausage, pre-cook and then chop (I used one sausage for one pizza). pepperoni in the background, we had real pepperoni for another recipe. You can get lower fat/sodium or turkey pepperoni if you want to be even healthier.
    
 Onions Sauteed with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar and baby portabellas sauteed with a little butter and lots of sliced  garlic. In the background is sliced green olives. I picked up a rotisserie chicken for simplicity sake for the chicken pizzas.
   
 
I'm not very good at the picture thing yet, so these are out of order. This is two wraps with the Tomato based sauce.The top picture has pepperoni and crumbled bacon on one wrap and chopped turkey sausage and crumbled bacon on the other. The next picture is just showing to spread sauce as close to the edge as you can 9reduces chances of edges burning.
 




 
 Pre-baked pizzas. In the picture on the right: One is BBQ sauce, chicken, onions, bacon and a thin slices of goat cheese (http://www.murrayscheese.com/drunken-goat.html), oh and bacon ;) The other is Alfredo sauce, chicken, baby bellas&garlic, bacon and thin slices of a hard cheese kind of like parmesan (http://culturecheesemag.com/cheese-library/espresso-bellavitano)

 
The two on the left have the tomato based sauce, one has pepperoni, baby bellas&garlic, bacon and the espresso cheese, one has sausage, green olives, onions and goat cheese. Oh and bacon :)

Bake the topped pizzas 5-8 minutes, until warm and melty. Yummy. 4 mini-pizzas fed 2 hungry adults.
