Thankfully gluten free pizzas are typically not hard to come by at your local grocery store. Many of the leading gluten free brands have put out pizza products including pizza mixes, premade pizza crusts that are either frozen or on the shelf, and even frozen premade pizzas in a variety of combinations. Each of these options range in pricing, some being cheaper than others depending on their convenience factor.
Pregnant or not I always keep a couple of pizza crusts in my freezer or cabinet for a quick dinner. For days that I have a bit more time I prefer making my pizzas or calzones from a store bought mix, and as an added bonus, you tend to get more for your money with these as you’re able to make a lot more pizzas for usually less money. While pregnant though, nothing could beat a quick, easy, and tasty pizza in only about 15 minutes. Many of my pregnant days I longed for a large, cheesy pizza from my local pizzeria which are overflowing with gluten, but trust me making a quick pizza for yourself hits the spot just the same without the terrible repercussions. Depending on personal preference, there are options for gluten free thin crust or deep dish versions of pizzas. Schar produces a great thicker crust that is the perfect base for any number of toppings.
They’re about a 1/2 inch thick and once topped and baked create a wonderful deep dish-esque crust. I like to top these with a number of different topping combinations but one of my favorites is just simple homemade tomato sauce, skim mozzarella cheese, and a dusting of dried herbs. If you’re craving something rather than a plain cheese pizza, stay tuned to see the variety of pizza toppings that I love to pair with these crusts!
A package of two of these crusts will run you around $6.99, depending on where you purchase them. Although it’s somewhat pricey, either indulge occasionally or wait for them to be on sale and stock up at that time. Also sign up on Schar’s website for Schar Club where you can receive coupons!
It is truly a pleasure to be able to enjoy a doughy pizza crust again without too much of an effort. I can’t lie, while I was pregnant I indulged in homemade pizzas quite a few times. When I could muster up the energy to make homemade pizzas from scratch it was fantastic, but the ease and convenience of these premad Trust me, if you’re craving a deep dish kind of pizza, this one will certainly do the trick! Give them a try today!
Sincerely,
Lindsay
