Suggestions for alternate crusts for people who are gluten-free, on a low-carb or paleo diet, or are raw foodists are offered below.
What to do…
When your pizza is the way you want it to look, put it on a foil covered pan and cook it in a 350 degree oven until the cheese is melted. Enjoy when cooled.
Here are a few suggestions for making pizza with a Halloween theme. Feel free to come up with your own version with your favorite toppings!
Pumpkin: Yellow cheese, sauce, black olives, pepperoni and peppers for the eyes, nose and mouth.
Frankenstein: Cheese, sauce, green olives or spinach for the face, black olives for the hair, mushroom slice for the nose, pepper slice for the mouth and pepperoni eyes.
Tip: Ricotta cheese can be mixed with spinach to make a green face as well!
Ghost: Cheese: Ricotta and/or white cheese of your choice, black olives and/or pepperoni for the eyes and mouth.
Dracula: White cheese and/or ricotta for the face, sauce, chopped black olives for the “V” hairline, a slice of red bell pepper for the mouth, green olives for the eyes and a slice of mushroom for the nose.
If you have a favorite gluten-free pancake recipe, make a batch without sweetener and add a small amount of herbs and grated cheese instead, then cook as you normal would, but make each pancake larger for personal-sized pizzas. Once all the “crusts” are made, have everyone top them with their favorite ingredients, heat them in a 350 degree oven until the cheese melts, and enjoy.
