Paleo garlic bread/pizza crust



Since i have needed to search for recipes and have eaten a totally different diet. It is really hard to find the good recipes on a Paleo diet (or gluten free diet). Even if you still eaten gluten this is still the best pizza crust ever. It tastes likes garlic and SO crispy. you do have to cook the pizza crust BEFORE you top everything on. Then cook it for 5-10 until cheese is melted. It is also very Oily, so you could cut down the oil to maybe a 1/4 cup and see how it goes. Matt and I always double it so we have leftovers. This is the recipe for the bread, but we just rolled it out for pizza. If you are interested in more recipes I just made ravioli with yellow squash turned out pretty good. I have more but don't know if you guys are interested in just veggies and meat. I am making coconut flour tortillas tonight. Well Gluten pretty much ruined my life for so long, I have a STRONG opinion with other foods about not eating it.

Easy Pretzels

http://oishiitreats.blogspot.jp/2013/04/easy-homemade-soft-pretzels.htmlWhen I say easy, I mean easy!  These were awesome and tasted better than I expected! They really did take about a half hour. I used 2 C. wheat flour and only ended up needing 1 1/2 C. of white flour. They turned out fluffy and I don't think I would have noticed the wheat if I didn't know better. I thought they were more fluffy than the mall's pretzels.
 I made half with the salt on top like in the recipe and half with melted butter brushed on the top as they came out of the oven and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I made the cinnamon sugar while they cooked by combining 1 T of cinnamon with 1/4 C. of sugar.  I dipped mine in melted butter when eating-so good! One note about the salt ones. I thought I added too much salt because I wasn't thinking when I sprinkled. Turned out that I could've added a tad more. It is just like making homemade fries when adding salt.
