Polenta Pizza (with Different Topping Ideas)
This Polenta pizza is a delicious and gluten-free alternative to traditional pizza crust. To make it you will only need 4 simple ingredients and 15 minutes of your time, which makes it a perfect dish for a cozy night in.
Ingredients
For the polenta crust
- 1 cup polenta
- 3 cup milk of choice
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
For the Margarita Topping
- 4 tbsp marinara sauce
- ½ cup grated mozarella
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- a handful of fresh basil
- ½ cup olives optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C degrees.
- Put the lactose-free milk in a large saucepan and bring it to boil. Once boiling lower the heat and add the polenta, stirring frequently. Continue by adding the butter or oil and the freshly grated parmesan. Season with salt and continue stirring frequently.
- Once the polenta starts to thicken, remove it from the heat.
- Place a baking paper over a baking tray and pour the warm polenta over. Make it in a circle shape (it can be as thick/thin as you prefer).
- Place the baking tray in the fridge to cool down and set. In the meantime prepare your toppings of choice. Once your toppings are ready, take out the baking tray from the fridge and add them to your pizza.
- Bake for 25 to 30min on 180C. Or until the crust is crispy and golden on the outside.
