Pizza is a treat that Bill and I have really missed since trying to stay away from gluten. This recipe is a bit of a cheat because I didn't actually make the crust - I bought it at THE BEST gluten free bakery in Toronto, called Haymishe. This place not only carries the most wonderful breads, baked treats and dumplings, but the women who run it are top-notch, vibrant characters. If you live downtown, it is worth the trek to Bathurst and Lawerence.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Pizza Sauce
1 cup fresh tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt
handful of fresh basil
1) Blend four ingredients until smooth (in a blender/magic bullet).
2) Add 2 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan then (once the pan has heated to low/med) add the blended sauce.
3) Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
4) Add 1/3 cup red wine and continue to stir until sauce has reduced in half.
5) Remove from heat and set aside.
Top Haymishe pizza crust with sauce and "four cheeses" - mozzerella, goats cheese, feta cheese and parmesan.
Cook for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh basil once out of the oven (the basil looses its nice green colour if you cook it on the pizza).
Enjoy!
