Well . . . we love pizza. However, the crust should be gluten free. So rather than buying the pre-baked pizza crust that the recipe called for, I made our own using my bread maker. I have learned to add a little bit more water to make the dough moister. I have a Pampered Chef round pizza stone that I spray with olive oil and sprinkle with corn meal before rolling the dough out. We also added other toppings like mushrooms, olives, green pepper, and cashews. I did not make ahead and freeze as we did in our class.Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
2 Tbsp Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix
1/2 lb ground hot or mild Italian sausage - browned
2 (14 oz) pkgs pre-baked pizza crust (such as Boboli)
1/2 (6 oz) pkg pepperoni slices, (about 48 slices)
3 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Directions:
1. Prepare grill to medium-low heat or oven to 400 degrees F. In small bowl, combine tomato sauce and Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix. Set aside.2. In medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble sausage until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to clean paper towels to drain.
3. Spread marinara on pizza crusts. Top with sausage, pepperoni, and cheese.4. Place pizza on aluminum foil on grill or directly on oven racks. Grill or bake until cheese is melted, about 10-12 minutes. If grilling, watch crust and turn grill down if needed so crust does not burn before cheese is melted.Makes 6 servings. Serve with a green salad.
Make Ahead & Freeze: Prepare through Step 3. Wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Seal well, label and freeze. Thaw completely. Prepare grill to medium-low heat or oven to 400 degrees F. Continue with step 4.
