Pizza Pizza!

Monday night Keith was in the mood for a pizza. I was too spent from work to even contemplate cooking never mind making a pizza so he took this challenge on himself. He went to the store, read all the labels and this was how he made his version of a Gluten Free Margherita Pizza (which we actually made two of).

1 box Glutino pizza dough
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
4 oz fresh mozzarella (we used a pre-sliced package)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped or cut into thin strips
1/4 cup grated fresh gluten free parmesan cheese

For the dough we broke out my kitchen aid mixer. Keith was nervous about the consistency of the dough but I told him that was how it was when I made the pizza balls and to trust it, so he did. After lightly greasing the tray and smoothing the dough out, he threw it in the oven for about 7 minutes to set and rise. As this process was happening he mixed together the sauce which consisted of the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. After the sauce was laid out of on the pie he sprinkled the parmesan cheese, placed out the mozzarella and scattered the fresh basil.

He was very proud of himself and it was delicious!!
