For Moms on the go

Let's face it...sometimes, life gets a little hectic. Time is crunched, things are rushed, the kids are chaos and sometimes meals are the last thing you want to worry about! 

This next post is a great gluten-free mom to mom secret: Ready made pizza packs! Often times, people ask what me what Audrey eats for lunch. Typically, we eat leftovers from dinner the night before but if there are not leftovers, this is one of those QUICK minimal prep, fall-back ideas that can be ready in about 15 minutes!

Gluten Free Pizza Packs

(Gluten Free, Can be Dairy Free)
Created by jalene

Makes 6 mini pizzas
Ingredients: 

• 1 recipe of my Freezable Pizza Crust
• 6 freezer quart size bags
• 12 snack size baggies
• 6- 1/4 cups of Gluten Free Pizza Sauce
• 6- 1/4 cup of Mozzerella (or Vegan Mozzerella to make it Dairy Free)
• (optional) any other toppings

Directions: 

1. Mix the pizza crust according it's directions. Separate the dough into 6 sections. Between greased parchment paper, roll out each section of the dough to form a small personal size pizza. (Be sure to check the size of your ziplock bags so you dont make your pizzas too big.)
2. Bake each mini pizza for about 7-8 minutes. (The top should be firm to the touch). Allow the crust to cool completely and then transfer each crust into it's own freezer bag.  
3. Place a sealed snack baggie of *1/4 cup sauce and a *1/4 cup cheese also into the freezer bag. *(You can use more or less to your preference)
4. Seal, date, and store in the freezer. Walla! Pizza when you need it. 

To make your pizza straight from the pizza: Preheat your oven to 425. Pull out the sauce and place in a bowl of warm water. Place the crust on a piece of foil or a pizza pan. Spoon on your sauce and sprinkle on the cheese. Throw it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until your cheese is starting to turn golden brown.

Extras from jalene: 

• Want a herbier crust? Try adding 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and 1/4 tsp garlic powder to the dough while mixing. It gives it a great Italian taste!

• Have other favorite toppings? You can freeze them too! Simply add them to your cheese baggie or seal them in their own baggie and add them to your kit. 

• PS- For Audrey's birthday party this year we actually did a build your own gluten free pizza party! I simply used this method and froze all the crusts ahead of time and then pulled them out just before the party. It went great! The kids AND adults LOVED picking out their own toppings for their personal pans.
