Saucy Mama Thai Chicken Pizza

Saucy Mama Thai Chicken Pizza

Sometimes I really miss bread.  If calories and food ingredients didn't effect the way I looked and felt, I'd probably eat bread and/or pasta with just about every meal.  Pizza would be on the menu at least twice a week. But alas, I try to maintain a dairy and wheat-free diet, with an exception here and there when the cravings control me.  That makes pizza difficult, because its full of both dairy and wheat, but if anyone can make it better, Saucy Mama can!

For the base of today's delicious Thai pizza sauce, I used Saucy Mama's Honey Barbeque Wing Sauce.  It has a deep, sweet, rich flavor that blends perfectly with the natural peanut butter and spicy Sriracha that make up our super sauce!

There are a few really good gluten-free pizza crust brands out now, I even see the pre-made crusts in the freezer section and in the bread section of my regular grocery store.  You can always try your hand at a fresh, home-made version, but in my opinion, if you can find a pre-made one that you like, save yourself the time and money! Let someone else worry about how much xantham gum you need for elasticity!
