Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza: Two Ways

Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza: Two Ways is a creative, delicious, and healthy take on homemade pizza. Both versions are nutrient-dense and flavor-packed!

Raise your hand if you love homemade pizza! During this time of quarantine and shelter-at-home mandates, I’ve been craving a different kind of dinner- a fun dinner. Something different than the typical chicken, potatoes, and veggies. And immediately, pizza came to mind. Because what’s more fun than pizza??

Luckily, I recently received a shipment from Zukkee’s Kitchen, who bakes gluten free sourdough loaves. Perfect timing or what? So, I thought, “Why not?” Let’s give sourdough pizza a try. I’m pleased with the result and I hope you are, too!

Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza: Two Ways

 

What is Zukkee’s Kitchen?

Zukkee’s Kitchen creates gluten free, sprouted, sourdough loaves. As we recently talked about in the post, “How to Sprout Grains,” sprouted bread offers more nutrients than conventional white or wheat bread. When sprouted, the anti-nutrients, like phytic acid, are broken down. As a result, nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, are more readily available for our bodies to break down and absorb.

Health Benefits of Gluten Free Sourdough 

This gluten free sourdough bread is free of inflammatory grains, yet rich in fiber, probiotics, and complex carbs. Zukkee’s Kitchen, specifically, uses an active lactobacillus culture as a starter for their bread. According to their website, “This probiotic ferments and bakes into lactic acid which reduces the phytic acid in your gut and allows you to absorb those needed minerals and nutrients.” As previously mentioned, by breaking down the phytic acid, nutrients are more available. Not only is this sourdough bread filling and satisfying, it’s also good for gut health!

 

What You Need to Make This Recipe 

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread 

Clearly, I’m a huge fan of Zukkee bread. But, you can use any sourdough bread you like. Alternatively, if you don’t like sourdough, you can use your favorite sprouted loaf!

Goat Cheese and/or Mozzarella

Depending on the recipe you choose to make, you will need either goat cheese or mozzarella, or both. If possible, use raw cheese!

Marinara Sauce

I always opt for marinara sauce that does not have any sugar or chemicals added. Whole Foods and Sprouts usually have decent options. Otherwise, you can find options on Amazon, like Hoboken Farms.

Your Favorite Toppings

Depending on the recipe you make, you’ll need a variety of toppings. However, feel free to personalize your pizza and use your favorite toppings!

Other topping ideas include: black olives, pesto sauce, pineapple, figs with balsamic vinegar, nitrate-free pepperoni or ham, or honey.

How to Make Gluten Free Sourdough Pizzas

This is probably the easiest “pizza” recipe you’ll ever make. Once your chicken and bacon are cooked and the veggies are sautéed, all that’s left is the assembly. Start by baking the bread in the oven for 5 minutes per side. Once removed from the oven, it’s time to start toppin’! In case you need a step-by-step guide, here you go:

  1. Spread your sauce evenly on the bread.
  2. Sprinkle or dollop the cheese on top.
  3. Add your toppings. I prefer to pile on as many toppings as I can.

Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve with additional ranch (like Tessemae’s) grated parmesan cheese, or chili flakes.

Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhe Are you a Nutrition Professional who feels overwhelmed and burdened by running a small business?! 

As a FNTP, who previously ran my own nutritional therapy practice, I know what it’s like to wear many hats. And let’s face it, small business owners can’t do it ALL. 

I‘ve personally experienced the overwhelm that comes with running your own business.

That’s when I decided to change directions and pursue content creation full time. Because I immediately saw the need for content creation in the nutrition sphere. Why?

Because as a nutrition professional, you want to share content that is accurate and original. Who’s better qualified to help you create content than a trained nutrition professional??

See where I’m going here? 🙃

I love combining my two passions: content creation and nutrition. Better yet, I love using these skill sets to better your business!

Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 I’ve Hi, it’s me. I’m still here! 👋🏼 

I’ve taken an unintentional (yet, very long) hiatus from this social media account and my blog. But, I’m back for a good while (I think 😅). Here’s what’s been going on lately..

In case you didn’t know, I started my own  business as a Content Creator in 2018, while I was in school at the Nutritional Therapy Association. As a trained FNTP, my niche is specifically holistic health and nutrition. It’s a combination of my two expertise: nutrition + content creation!

As a FNTP with a strong passion for real food + balanced nutrition, I’ve always kept this account as an educational resource for you. And as a fun creative outlet for me, as well!

But, I’m here to say, it’s time for a new direction. As my content creation business continues to grow and as I become more invested as a Content Creator, it only feels right to bring a little bit of my profession to this space! 

So while I still plan to share nutritional tidbits and encouragement, I also want to use this platform as a resource for my content creation business.

Sound good?

If you’re a fellow FNTP or nutrition professional, feel free to reach out for content creation support! 

And, if you’re here for nutritional education, thank you for being here and participating in this awesome community!! 💛

STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST & DRINKING BLACK COFFEE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH 🛑

*said with grace and love*

Seriously, I spent years sipping on black coffee before eating breakfast. But, not anymore. 

Here’s what happens when you skip breakfast and drink black coffee every morning:
👉🏼 The caffeine (AKA stimulant) spikes your blood sugar levels.
👉🏼 Your body moves into fight-or-flight mode, increasing stress hormones.
👉🏼 A couple hours later, the cravings and yawns kick in, so you binge on sugar and *more* coffee.

And in case you’re thinking, “I seem to feel just fine after drinking black coffee and skipping breakfast,” there’s a good chance your body is living on stress hormones and relies on the caffeine to keep your body functioning. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😬

Soooo, what should you do instead for a healthy metabolism & happy hormones?

Eat a balanced breakfast with protein, carbs, and fat, FIRST. Ideally, within an hour of waking up. Then, enjoy a cup of fresh coffee (preferably with high quality cream or milk) ☕️ 

TBH, there’s nothing better than a hot cup of coffee with frothy, raw milk 🤩 what’s your coffee order?

And, yes, my shirt says “you’re the pumpkin to my spice” because ‘tis the season 🎃 *from @hannahmcmorrison

I eat carbs at every meal! 🍎🥖🥔🫓🥛🍫

Here’s why…

Our bodies NEED carbohydrates for: 
• Physical energy
• Brain power
• Muscle repair and growth
• A healthy gut microbiome
• Metabolic efficiency 
• Healthy digestion 
• AND SO MUCH MORE

This is especially true when you’re exercising and strength training regularly!! 💪🏼

Some of my favorite carb sources are:
• Fresh sourdough bread 
• Sweet potatoes and red potatoes 
• Squash and carrots
• Seasonal fruit 
• Honey and maple syrup 
• Raw milk
• Cassava tortillas and pasta 
• Homemade baked goods with cassava flour
• Dark chocolate 

What are your favorite carbs?! 😋

As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods a As someone who aims to as many real, whole foods as possible (and always GF), I’ve learned a thing or two about “healthy baking.” Here are the swaps I always make in my baked goods for healthy hormones, metabolism, and tastebuds! 👇🏼

• Grass fed (raw, if possible) butter instead of oil 
• @bobsredmill 1-to-1 GF flour instead of all purpose flour
• Raw sugar, coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup instead of white sugar 
• Substitute a little bit of the flour with protein powder or collagen (usually about 10% of the total flour)
• Grass fed (raw, if possible) milk > nut milk
• Cassava, oat, or GF blend flour > almond flour

Save this post to refer back to this season! And, happy baking 🧁🍪

5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE st 5 “healthy” habits that actually cause MORE stress in the body…

1. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
2. Working out fasted 
3. Limiting consumption of fruit and natural sugars
4. Opting for “low fat” foods
5. Drinking a gallon of water daily.

All of these habits add excessive stress to the body and can eventually lead to symptoms of burn out and physiological imbalances, like:
PMS
Weight gain
Acne
Insomnia
Chronic fatigue
AND SO MUCH MORE

Sometimes, our bodies need us to intentionally do LESS, not more. If you’re in a constant (physical or mental) state of stress, this means YOU!

Did you know these “healthy” habits could be detrimental to your health?
