Pizza Bread {gluten free}

I had the idea to make pizza bread a few months ago. It was one of the nights that we hadn’t gone shopping and our only option for dinner was looking like eggs on toast. Which I normally love, but get bored of if we have it more than one night per week. So, I got to creating in the kitchen and whipped up pizza toast for dinner in no time at all. I had to do two trays as Simon demolished four pieces before I’d even finished one! In his defence he’d just been for a 10km run. 

We were both so impressed with the crunchy texture of the base. We used Helga’s Gluten Free White Bread and it worked a treat. A perfect substitute for when you can’t find or make a gluten free pizza bread. We’ve made it for lunch and dinner multiple times since and just switch up the toppings to keep it interesting. 

The top tip with the recipe is squishing the gluten free bread to give it a thin base, and pre-baking the bread without the toppings in the oven. These two steps allow the bread base to crisp up and maintain this crispiness even after you’ve added the toppings. Trust me you’ll be surprised with how good the texture is! Because you’re squishing the bread you want to pick one that holds it shape well (note I’ve only tried this with Helga’s).
