Yummy Gluten Free Pizza

Please Forgive no photo, I will add one shortly. the thing with Pizza is you can do anything, but here is my fave recipie. I have modified it from a pizza i once had in Queenstown at Winniebagos.


Ingredients:

Gluten Free Pizza Base ( I use Freedom wraps)
Pesto ( I use copperpot spinach dip. i think its copperpot, its GF anyway. i always check the lid to be sure, as it says so. you could also use basil, rocket or any of your choosing!)
Roast Pumpkin Pieces
Parmesan cheese
Baby Spinach
Pine nuts
Olive oil

Optional - roast chicken, pancetta. ensure they are GF.

Method:

1/ Preheat Oven to 180 or 200
2/ Cut pumpkin into small thin pieces, about 2 cm by 1 cm and roast for about 10 mins, or until cooked (dont overcook)
3/heat 1 tspn olive oil (or less) in small fry pan and lightly cook the pine nuts, tossing so they dont burn
3/ Put base on a tray. (depending on tray, you may need to line it)
4/ Spread pesto over base.
5/ Sprinkle small amount of  Parmesan over base
6/ Lightly tear baby spinach and place over base; then pumpkin, meat, and pinenuts (if you dont want the meat, then leave off). Remember not to overload the base. GF bases are thin, and less is more.
7/ Sprinkle a little more parmesan on top, then put in the oven for 10=20 mins, depending on your ovens cooking time (i use 20 as mine is a slow oven)
8/ Remove, slice and eat!

nb. For a dairy free option, omit the cheese, and check the ingredients. You can also use feta and kalamata olives on this pizza in place of the parmesan.
