Pizza Crust

http://www.wellnessgrocer.com/natures-hilights-pizza-crusts-brown-rice-p-2899.html

Several people have asked me what I make personal pizza's with, and this is the pre done pizza crust I use, because it's only rice, water and salt, it is gluten free, and comes with a somewhat crunchy/chewy texture. This is definitely not for the deep dish pizza people, and in a sense is in a class all it's own.

But it is irresistible when I make it like this…
Brush olive oil on the crust, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder
Toast in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes. ( Like to put it on a pizza pan where air reaches the bottom)
Note: this is small enough to fit inside a full size toaster oven.
I cut up olives, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, onions, pepperoncini peppers (aka banana peppers), goat feta cheese or Chèvre, or fresh or grated mozzarella. Depending on how you load up the pizza this can be a very filling meal. I typically eat half of one, and save the other half for snacking on later.

So your ingredients are:
Pizza Crust
Olive oil
Italian Seasoning
Garlic powder
Olives
Fresh Tomatos
Fresh Basil
Onions
Pepproncini Peppers
Feta Cheese or Chevre
Fresh or grated Mozzarella
Bake for 15 minutes or until the onions and basil have wilted.

I'd eat this all week if you let me, but I digress and eat a well balanced diet. ;-)
