March 2014: Chebe Pizza Crust Mix

First and foremost, I have to apologize for lack of posts this month. The abundance of unexpected snow days in January and February have most certainly taken its toll. The aftermath consists of copious amounts of homework, especially with spring break right around the corner!

Anyways, I do want to share my first choice when it comes to making a delicious homemade, gluten-free pizza. Although this may not be quick of an option as Udi’s Thin and Crispy Pizza Crusts, if you have a few extra minutes, it’ll be worth it. I have been using this particular pizza crust mix for over seven years now, and I couldn’t be happier! I was introduced to Chebe’s, when I was first diagnosed with Celiac, by my neighbor who had been gluten-free for years. She was the first person to introduce me to the world of gluten-free foods. As you probably know, gluten-free products require trial and error to find the right assortment of brands and products that appeal to you. So it is a testament to the quality and taste of this pizza mix that it is the only product that I have continued to use from when I was initially diagnosed to current day.

The crust is uniquely flavorful with italian spices and a pinch of garlic. It has a bit of a chewy texture, but that is one of its many characteristics that appeals to me! If that doesn’t sound too tempting, I would recommend baking for about 2-3 minutes longer than specified. You can top the pizza with just about anything. I have had great results with Alfredo sauce, spinach, and garlic (see Garlic-Spinach Pizza recipe); ham and pineapple, or a classic margarita pizza!
