Balsamic Fig Honey Pine Nut & Mascarpone Pizza
Urban Recipes
By Christina Jeffrey
Craving a fantastic pizza? Guess what, it's gluten free!
This soft gluten free pizza crust is topped with mascarpone cheese, figs, toasted pine nuts, honey, arugula in a maple balsamic dressing and drizzled with a balsamic glaze.
This Balsamic Fig Honey Pine Nut and Mascarpone Pizza will definitely satisfy that pizza craving! Pizza night is a favourite in our household, and during the pandemic we made homemade pizza weekly. For those that like a tomato base regular crust pizza with lots of cheese, I have a beautiful one coming in a couple weeks for you. However today I wanted to offer you a healthier option that I think you will want to try. We can all get very creative with our toppings for pizza but honestly I always want a great crust to put those toppings on top of. A lot of gluten free crusts aren't flavourful and are very hard. This gluten free crust is soft and has a touch of honey and olive oil in it to make if very tasty.
