I will admit to everyone I am not a great cook. I can microwave and open cans very well so I have been able to survive so far.
A friend of my mother's gave me a gluten-free pizza kit made by Gallo Lea. The package touted "make a pizza in 30 minutes." Obviously they didn't mean me.
The directions were simple enough, however my technique with dough was abysmal.
After trying to spread quicksand-consistency dough on oily parchment paper for thirty minutes, I finally made a very lopsided pie on the parchment. The dough stuck more to my fingers than onto the parchment. A spoon will help make the edges thicker.
I baked it for 5 minutes, took it out of the oven and precariously peeled it off the parchment. Spatulas are very good for this type of technique.
My pizza now needed sauce and toppings. I thought I'd make it pretty simple and add some mozzarella cheese. (It comes with a pretty good sauce.)
After more baking (5-8 minutes), it sure didn't look pretty but it was rather tasty. My partner Chris thought the dough tasted a bit like refried beans but agreed it wasn't half bad.
I don't think you can get this in Fayetteville but they have a website: http://www.gallolea.com/
May you have better luck than I.
Until then, Bon Appetit!

Just recently launched a contest in Fayetteville. 2012's Greatest Around Fayetteville Contest which recognizes people, places and businesses in Fayetteville that stand out among their peers.
It is community driven and the winners are chosen by individuals not our company.
In other markets, our Best Gluten Free Menu category has a hard time getting a lot of nominations. My sister has recently had to switch to a gluten free diet and I know that it has been a difficult transition for her. She has several health issues and a gluten free diet is just one of many restrictions in her life. I do not want to have to cut this category and that is why I am glad I found your blog.
Can you help us get the word out to your readers to support this category? The website is www.greatestaroundfayetteville.com and nominees must get at least 25 nominations in order to make it to the voting phase. Each category needs at least 5 nominees to make it into the voting phase. Having lived for 10 years in Fayetteville, I know there has to be many options out there. Hopefully your readers can help us identify them.
We also have a best Blogger category. Would love to see you in it as your blog is on such an important topic.
I am going to buy my sister some Gluten Free pizza for her birthday. Hopefully she will have better luck. Here is a recipe she made for me on my birthday. It was delicious. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/garbanzo-bean-chocolate-cake-gluten-free/detail.aspx
