Lactose Free Pizza

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Top pizza crust with sauce followed by parmesan cheese, toppings, and finally mozzarella cheese.

Bake plain crust for 10 minutes at 400º F or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

 

OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

Have you seen those commercials for a stuffed crust pizza and wanted one?  Now you can!  Before you add the sauce and toppings to the crust, take some of the shredded cheese and place it on the perimeter of the dough.  Then fold the dough over the cheese as to form a "pouch", but still leaving open surface area available for toppings.  This will result in an overall smaller pizza, but now there's cheese in the crust!

Want to add an element of cheese bread to your pizza?  In my experience it is not practical to place sauce and cheese right at the edge of the crust, so typically my pizzas have a lot of crust which tends to taste quite plain.  If you take some sliced lactose-free cheddar cheese and place it on the dough (with emphasis on the edges) before adding sauce and toppings, the cheese will melt during cooking and add an extra cheesy flavor to the crust!
