This recipe for the pizza crust was adapted from the original by the Gluten Free Palate.

We love Friday night pizza night at our house and experimenting with all different types of crusts and toppings. Our go-to crust is the fresh gluten-free dough from the refrigerator section of Trader Joe's, however, this crust recipe is super easy to make and pretty comparable in taste. Although plain cheese is our families favorite, other top picks are prosciutto and fresh mozzarella, mushroom and ricotta, bbq chicken and classic meatball. Whatever topping we pick, we ALWAYS finish each bite off with a big pile of salad, there's just something about the cold, vinegary lettuce on the warm salty pizza, just compliments each other so nice.
