Cake Pan Pizza - Gluten Free

Lazy Man's Cake Pan Pizza

Soooo easy to make!

Crust:

2 cups garbanzo bean (chickpea) flour (I use Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour)
1 1/2 cups water
Margherita: Cheese, Fresh Sliced Tomato, Fresh Basil
1 Tbsp olive oil

Sauce:
1 cup of your favorite pre-made marinara or get fancy and make your own (marinara recipe coming soon)

Toppings:
Whatever you want

Directions:
Whisk flour, water, and oil together.  Cover and let sit for an hour (or more if you'd like) on the counter.

Place cake-pans in the oven and pre-heat it to 400°.

Veggie: Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion, Green Pepper
When pre-heated, spray cake pans with non-stick spray or add a little bit of olive oil to each pan.  Don't forget that they've been in the oven - they're hot!

Add 1/2 of the batter to each cake pan, then bake for 15-20 minutes.  The crusts are done when the edges are brown and the centers are firm.

Remove the cake pans from the oven and add your sauce (1/2 cup to each crust) and toppings.

Switch your oven to Broil and bake pizzas for ~5 minutes.  Peak in to see if the cheese and toppings are baked to your liking.

Ta-Da!  Gluten-free pizza!

Prescriptions for Vegetables?

That's right!  Doctors in New York are writing prescriptions for vegetables for high-risk, low-income patients.

You can watch a short news clip here: Fox NY

This makes my heart hurt a little because it shows just how many people do not have access to, the knowledge of, or the money for fresh food.

However, I love this idea because:
  1. It helps put fresh food in the hands of those who need it most
  2. It supports health
  3. It provides food AND nutritional education 
  4. It supports local farmers
  5. It's financially supported by a non-profit (Wholesome Wave) so people can't complain
What do you think of this program?
