Delicious Ways to Enhance Flavor and Nutrition Without Gluten!
Enhancing the nutritional value of gluten-free pizza can be both simple and delicious. By incorporating various wholesome ingredients, you can transform your pizza into a healthier meal option. Consider adding nutrient-dense toppings such as leafy greens, colorful vegetables, and lean proteins. These additions not only boost the overall nutrient profile but also contribute to a variety of flavors and textures that can elevate your pizza experience.
Another effective strategy is to experiment with the pizza crust itself. Instead of traditional gluten-free flour, explore alternative bases made from chickpeas, cauliflower, or almond flour. These options often contain higher levels of fiber and protein, making your pizza not just gluten-free but also more satisfying. By making these adjustments, you can enjoy a pizza that aligns with your dietary preferences while still being nutritious and flavorful.
Transform Your Slice: Wholesome Hacks for a Delectable Gluten-Free Experience!
Hello there my name is Nicole Byam and I’m a registered dietitian with Celia at Canada today I am lucky enough to share with you some delicious pizzas from OG Foods I learned a few things about OG Foods in my journey of discovery about the company OG Foods comes from a family of pizza makers in Italy and one of the.
Family members was diagnosed with celiac disease I’ve often found with comp that that is often the origin story well through research and development the family made a gluten-free flour with the taste and texture of a gluten containing Pizza their texture is Fluffy and chewy and it is unlike any other frozen pizza I have ever tried OG pizzas are of.
Course made in a certified gluten-free plant and available all over North America one thing I found very interesting is their tomatoes are from California and the rest of their ingredients are imported from Italy all of their products are non- GMO and of course entirely gluten-free certified by celc.
Canada OG’s website is really easy to navigate it will give you the name of all the grocery stores that carry their product in your local area while OG offers a variety of different pizza toppings suitable for many tastes we know that some of our younger members of our community have specific toppings that they like to add to their pizza so.
For those busy days we suggest taking one of their four cheese pizzas and doctoring it up with your favorite toppings today I’m going to show you some of mine all right I’m going to open up my pizza and we’re going to get started with our toppings all right looks.
Delicious okay so this is the perfect base to get started with our delicious pizza so what I’m going to do for my family is we like to chop up some veggies today I’m going to cook up some peppers and some onions and I’m going to fry them in a cast iron pan I know a lot of our community is iron deficient especially when they’re.
Newly diagnosed cooking in a cast iron pan can actually help to increase your iron levels before we put these on the pizza I’m just going to give them a quick fry and of course peppers are a good source of vitamin.
C while we’ve got the peppers and onions cooking I’m going to cut up some tomatoes that we can put on the pizza and then in front of me I’ve got some leftovers from last night I’ve got some grilled chicken from the barbecue and and some grilled tofu that we can put on the pizza as well to make some nice.
Toppings and a good use of leftovers as well one thing I’m noticing as I’m putting everything on this pizza is how delicious and thick a crust it looks I can’t wait to try this okay so now I’m going to just slice up this tofu in order to put it on on one side of the pizza and the chicken on the other.
Good sources of protein to balance out the meal and I’ve got a plant-based source of protein and of course a lean chicken I got so excited making the first pizza I decided to take out the second one I brought out a margarita this time and I’m going to make this one.
The vegetarian pizza and I’m going to make this one the chicken that way it’s going to suit all the needs of my family I’ve got extra tomatoes and extra peppers and onions in the frying pan that I can use on both the pizzas the veggies are sizzling up and making the kitchen smell delicious we’re almost ready to put them on our.
Pizza half of a margarita pizza has 9 G of fiber in it which is 32% of your daily value when you look on the ingredients list you can see that the crust contains pelium husk powder this is where the fiber comes from our community often struggles to get fiber into our diet this would be a great source of.
Fiber place your oven at 450° F and let your pizzas cook for 18 to 20 minutes checking at the 10-minute Mark and we’re going to close that up and wait for those we’re going to check it after 10 minutes to see how it looks and then when we pull them out we’re going to leave them for a couple of.
Minutes to let them cool down they’re going to be quite hot when they come out of the oven now not every family has an entirely gluten free household out of in our family two out of five of us have celiac disease when you’re putting gluten-free and gluten containing items in the same oven at the same time you want to remember to put your glutenfree.
Food on top and your gluten containing food underneath and you always want to make sure you use the bake setting rather than the convection setting when you’ve got two items in the oven one has gluten one doesn’t so gluten-free on top gluten containing on the bottom okay I’m going to cut into the tofu Pizza cuz it looks so.
Delicious I’m really excited so I waited the 2 minutes to make sure that it was easy to cut and cool enough to eat that is so delicious you would never know it was gluten-free I wish everybody else could be in the kitchen trying it with me cuz it’s it’s so good thank you OG for making such delicious pizza.
