Is it possible to actually make a pizza that is free of dairy & gluten. Isn't that what pizza is all about, the crust and that nice cheesy topping? Well, we've mastered it, and frankly we enjoy it (maybe it's from being without for so long). Anyway, here's how we do it. We like to use Kinnickinnick gluten-free pizza crust or Nature's Highlights gluten-free pizza crust (made with only whole grain brown rice & potato). Both are frozen. We then brush them with olive oil, add tomato sauce to part of them (only olive oil for my 2 year old) and add chopped fresh spinach, gluten-free (Hormel Natural Choice) ham, and chopped brocolli.
Now, drum roll please. Here's the moment you've all been waiting for. What in the world do we use in place of cheese? We tried a couple of cheese substitutes including rice cheese (yuck!) only to finally abandon cheese altogether and just go for a look alike. We use peeled & grated zuchinni & apples and sprinkle them on top. They don't melt like cheese, but it at least looks like there is grated cheese on the top. Try it, you just might like it!

Your idea of using grated zuchinni & grated apples is brilliant! We've kind of been avoiding pizza as we too couldn't find a good substitute for cheese. I can't wait to try it.
