Let's make a gluten-free pizza!
Is your house dealing with multiple diets?
I know at my house when everyone is together it is a cluster of allergies, but mostly soy and gluten-free pizza crust.
Whew!
That was a lot to get out. Now let's cook for everyone!
Needless to say, I have a family full of allergies. Not to mention food preferences.
It is so hard to get allergy-friendly, gluten-free pizza crust that meets all of the requirements that we need. I mean where do you get a soy-free, gluten-free pizza dough that will feed the family without breaking the bank? My answer…
Homemade Pizza
Make it homemade. That was my answer. Now to find an easy, tasty pizza dough recipe. It has got to taste good otherwise it is a waste of time and money.
The added bonus of making it homemade is that you can get the whole family involved. By making pizza together we save money and we have quality family time together.
Pizza night has created fun memories for my family and hopefully yours too.
When you have a good pizza oven, it makes the pizza even better! We love our Newair Portable Countertop Electric Pizza Oven. It's easy to use and the pizzas come out perfectly cooked every time.
Favorite Pizzas
What is your favorite pizza? Pepperoni? A pizza with everything? Another great tip is to make sure you have your family’s favorite toppings on hand. On your three-week shopping cycle grab your ingredients.
At my house in my freezer you will find a pizza topping section. I will freeze toppings in bags for each pizza. Does your family like sausage? Get a package of sausage, cook it all up and then freeze in pizza-sized portions for each pizza. I freeze the 1lb mozzarella cheese packages and each one is perfect for each pizza. Stick some Canadian bacon in the freezer and canned pineapple.
Does pineapple belong on a pizza? Are you team pineapple?

Level Up Pizza Night
You can make your pizza night even more exciting with fun drinks for the entire family. The Luma Nugget Coutertop Ice Maker makes the best ice for a pink lemonade or Shirley Temple for the kids. If you want to enjoy some wine, a wine fridge like the Newair Shadow Series Wine Cooler Refrigerator will keep it at the perfect temperature. With a fun drink in hand and your freshly baked homemade pizza, it will be a fun and memorable night for the whole family!
