Pizza

It's football season, and what better way to watch the game than with pizza?  My husband wanted to order something, gluten free of course.  We have a few options around (Dominoes, Mellow Mushroom, Buckhead Pizza Co), but I didn't want to spend the large amount of money they charge.  I decided to look up SCD pizza ideas.  The first one I came to was John's Pizza.  It looked amazingly simple, which is a HUGE plus.  I read some of the reviews and people enjoyed it, even gave me a tip about the egg white, which worked like a charm.

Being that tomatoes are a little acidic, I didn't want to chance tomato sauce with my sensitive system.  I've used avocado spread on sandwiches before so I searched for an avocado pizza topping recipe, which I found here.


Crust: (GAPS and SCD legal)
1/2 cup almond flour
1 egg white
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce:
1 small, ripe avocado; peeled, pitted, diced
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 tbsp of fresh lime juice

Toppings:
Cheese (I used Mozzarella, which is not SCD legal)
Diced green pepper
Slices of zucchini
Any SCD legal meat (I used mini pepperoni's which is not SCD legal)

1. In a bowl, mix the crust ingredients together.

2. Oil a pan with olive oil, add the dough ball, press with hands forming to the shape of a small pizza crust.  Don't worry if its not as big as the pan.

3. Put in cold oven and heat to 350 (this alows the crust to set up and brown a bit. By the time the oven heats up, the crust should be crisp and ready for the toppings.)

4. Remove from oven, add toppings (The combinations are endless), return to oven and bake 10 minutes.

Here is a website telling you which cheeses are SCD legal, and which are not.
