Tailoring Pizza Recipes to Make Them Gluten Free and Dairy Free
I have been on a gluten free diet for over a decade now, for medical reasons. It’s crazy how many MORE yummy choices there are now, than when I first embarked on this journey.
Pizza is one of the easiest things to make, both gluten free and dairy free! Here are my top recommendations for ingredient substitutions for the recipes above:
- Udi’s gluten free and dairy free (vegan!) premade pizza crusts
- Daiya gluten free and dairy free shredded cheeses
- Daiya gluten free and dairy free blue cheeze
- Kinnikinnick Gluten free and dairy free graham crackers (for S’mores Pizza)
- Dandies’ gluten free and vegan mini marshmallows
- Make your own Dairy Free (and Gluten Free) Nutella with this recipe from Savory Lotus!
- Instead of Nutella, you could melt gluten free and vegan Enjoy Life chocolate bars or Enjoy Life gluten free and vegan chocolate chips
