Gluten-free Pizza
Wow! Pizza, that I can eat, that’s tasty, healthy and easy to make. This has made me so happy!
It’s such a treat you don’t need to be gluten-free to enjoy it. The gluten-free pizza base that’s firm enough to eat with fingers so a great recipe to knock up for serving when guests need something to eat with drinks.
Just combine your favourite pizza toppings with all the health benefits of Flax Farm Linseed (Flax) Porridge (which is completely wheat-free for gluten intolerance) – or if you are coeliac use our Gluten-free Linseed Porridge.
Flax Farm also makes an oat-free, Gluten-Free Linseed, Buckwheat and Quinoa Porridge which also makes a good pizza base, but needs to be made with a different ratio of ingredients, see notes below.
Tastier and healthier gluten-free pizza base
Obviously the base is the key. We have got rid of the really bad things, wheat and gluten. The linseed improves the glycmic index, which is good to stop blood sugar levels spiking, Linseed also makes the pizza healthier in its positive, linseedy way, it’s rich in omega-3, protein and lots of tummy-friendly fibre. It is very tasty too, Non-gluten-free colleagues ate it with great enthusiasm and finished several pizzas. If you fancy a more crispy, crunchy seedy base try our Flax Farm Gluten-Free Linseed Super Seedy Muesli Porridge
Simpler to make and quicker than ordinary pizza dough
With just two ingredients and a little seasoning mixed in a bowl it couldn’t be easier. No skill required. Just choose your favourite toppings.
