Gluten-Free Pizza
I was reading an interesting post by my lovely blog friend, Veronica @ Sleepless Nights. She wrote about the not-so-gluten-free gluten-free pizza advertised at Domino's Pizza in Australia.
One of our nieces has Celiac Disease, so I can relate to Veronica's frustration when it comes to restaurants having dishes that are supposed to be gluten-free and end up being cross-contaminated or containing ingredients that are not gluten-free.
I was vegetarian for seven years (for the mere fact that meat, flesh, blood, gristle, and bones gross me out). At a party I hosted when I was in university, one of the guys brought this amazing pizza! He made three HUGE rice crust pizzas and they were devoured within minutes! It was just so different from anything I had ever had before.
Years later, when I was teaching in Japan, one of the restaurants I frequented had shrimp burgers that had rice patties in place of burger buns!
What a novel idea! Gotta love the Japanese!

What a novel idea! Gotta love the Japanese!Veronica, this is for you :) This is the recipe my friend passed down to me over a decade ago! It's a great pizza crust alternative. Rice flour crusts are delicious, but this crust is made with RICE...not rice flour!
