We're really excited about this one. Many of our wholesale customers come to us looking for innovative ways to use hemp as a gluten substitute. While we have no problem with gluten, some tummies do. Adding hemp to a simple gluten-free pizza mix is a great way to add texture and taste while making everyone's favourite 'junk food' staple - completely junk-free. In fact, you could even call it healthy with extra protein, healthy fats, fatty-acids and a cocktail of vitamins and minerals.

Have a go and let us know what you think! 

Ingredients:

The Dough: Makes 2 pizza bases 

• 1 cup of gluten-free pizza mix (we like Bob's Red Mill's)
• 1/3 cup of water 
• 1 Tbsp of hemp oil (canola oil works too) 
• 2 tsp of white vinegar 
• 1/2 cup of crushed hemp seed (a new wholesale product of ours) or crush your own de-hulled hemp seeds 
• 1 tsp of fresh yeast 
• 1/2 tsp of oregano
• 1/2 tsp of basil 
• 1/2 tsp of parsley
• 1/2 tsp of granulated garlic 

Toppings: 

Your choice - go crazy. We've kept ours vegan with pizza sauce, zucchini, peppers, red onions, and fresh arugula with a sprinkle of hemp seed and a drizzle of hemp oil - but feel free to add pepperoni, sausage and loads of mozza. It will still be gluten-free, but maybe not quite so healthy.  

Instructions: 

1. Pre-Heat oven for 325°
2. Add GF dry mix, crushed hemp seed, seasoning, to kitchen aid mixer
3. Add fresh yeast and start mixing on low
4. Add water, oil, vinegar to dry mix and increase paddle speed
5. Mix thoroughly until dough is mixed and uniform
6. Let stand for 30 minutes, for the dough to proof
7. Lightly spray pizza pan with oil, and begin to flatten the dough onto the pan
8. Par bake at 325° for 8-10 minutes
9. Add your toppings, and bake for an extra 10-12 minutes at 400°
10. Enjoy!!
