Gluten Free Pizza from the toaster oven
One of the college dinner staples that is lacking from the gluten free diet is pizza. Pizza: Normally a cheap and easy fix for what to do when you are low on cash and are craving carbs. Gluten Free Pizza: Only offered by a few restaurants, and cannot usually be guaranteed Gluten Free. My solution to this is to make it yourself in the toaster oven. There are several brands that sell ready made Gluten Free frozen pizzas including Amy's, Udi's, and Glutino. These options are still quite expensive and rarely offer the variety of toppings that a restaurant would. Some of these companies also offer Gluten Free pizza crust in the frozen food section. The one I've found to be the most reasonably priced and easy to find is Kinnikinnick brand. In one package, you get 4 personal sized, square pizza crusts that are thick enough to withstand anything you want to top it with.
Instruction
1) Preheat toaster oven to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
2) Place frozen crust in to toaster oven to blind bake for 3 to 4 minutes.
3) Add sauce cheese, and any toppings you want to be heated.
4) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cheese bubbles.
5) Add any additional toppings that were not baked and let cool for 5 minutes.
Serving Options
Square pizzas don't cut into the traditional rounded rectangle, so cutting from corner to corner diagonally is the next best thing. The serving size for the Kinnikinnick crust is a bit larger than what I would call a single serving, so it would be easy to save a piece for breakfast pizza as well.
