My husband can’t eat pizza with gluten or sugar in the crust.  Because that leaves out boxed mixes or frozen pizzas, I decided to make my own.

Thin-Crust Gluten-Free Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

Thin-Crust Gluten-Free Pepperoni Pizza

1 ½ cups almond flour

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. baking soda

1 egg

1 Tbsp. grape seed or olive oil

¼ lb. Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed

1 medium, chopped

½ cup pizza sauce

1 garlic clove, minced

½ cup julienned roasted sweet peppers

¼ cup sliced ripe olives

1 cup (4 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

17 slices turkey pepperoni

In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, salt and baking soda.  In another bowl, whisk egg and oil; stir into dry ingredients.  Press onto a 12 inch pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly.  Bake at 350 F. for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and stir sausage and onion over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink.  Spread pizza sauce over crust; sprinkle with garlic.  Top with the sausage mixture, red peppers, olives, cheese and pepperoni.  Bake 18-20 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.                         8 servings
