Udi's Pizza Crust

Today I stopped into the Whole Foods in Fort Lauderdale, and saw that they're now carrying Udi's Gluten-Free pizza crust.  I eat their granola for breakfast, and I've been known to trek out to Nutrition'Smart for their bread (no warming up required - you can use it  - fresh - straight from the package).

So I picked up a package of the 9" crusts to give them a try.

Oh. My. God.

Unbelievably light and crispy; as thin as you could want, but still up to the task of holding the ingredients.  You take them out of the freezer, top, and place into a pre-heated 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes.

You can use whatever sauce you like; I used a variation of a recipe I learned from an Italian grandmother.

She crushed a clove of garlic onto the middle of a crust, added an 1/8 tsp each of Basil and Oregano, and then drained several canned whole plum tomatoes, and crushed everything together on the crust, spreading it around.  I now use crushed tomato instead instead of canned whole tomatoes, about a 1/4 cup's worth, or until I get the coverage I want.  (But I still mix it on the crust). I topped it with mozzarella and a little sharp cheddar, and then mini pepperonis. (and if you haven't discovered these yet - try them!

I scarfed down half of it before I thought to take a picture.  I nearly pulled out the second crust as soon as I finished the first.

Durn fine pizza, if I say so myself.
