Not only does this recipe rival 'real' pizza (the crust has a light, airy, crunchy texture), but even gluten eaters will love this pizza and won't feel cheated. This recipe is delicious enough to serve to the whole family!

Toppings
If you plan on using crusts the same day, they can sit out for up to four hours. If making more than one, line a sheet tray with foil and add whatever topping you desire on the crust. Add your choice of toppings (i.e. tomato sauce, herbs/spices, meat/veggies, cheese etc.). Bake 450 for 7 - 10 minutes until bubbly.
Notes
Carefully read labels to make sure you are getting a gluten-free product: many brands make both gluten-free as well as regular products too.
