EPIC Pizza!

The attempt of the week: Epic Pizza. This entails Matt insisting that we make allergen-free deep dish pizza after watching Man vs. Food in Chicago. So we went for it.



Ingredients:
Namaste Pizza Crust
1 flaxseed meal egg
Sauce:
one can diced tomatoes
one can tomato paste
minced garlic
chopped onion
Italian seasonings
1/2 cup Merlot
Toppings:
sausage
pepperoni
sun-dried tomatoes
minced garlic
spinach
Daiya mozzarella cheese
prosciutto
fresh basil, chopped



The crust was Namaste Pizza Crust mix. It is the best GF crust I've found. It has some herbs and spices in it and cooks decently. It takes one egg-one flaxseed meal egg, and water. Divide in two and but one in the bottom of a 9x13 and the other on a cookie sheet. It's a sticky mess and can be a pain to spread out because it's very thick. I recommend wax paper.



I was very proud of this as it took FOREVER. I may have used a can of Pam as a rolling pin



Pre-cooked for 30 min.



Here's the second layer of crust and my classy Pam rolling pin again



Top crust, pre-cook for 15 min, it will be crunchy but I liked it that way

Baked at 400 for 15-20 min. Mainly so things would cook down so we can add more.
