My Thirty-Seventh veggie pizza
1 unit pizza - no outside crust
extra red sauce
extra cooked veggies
or
1 hot rolls mix or pre made uncooked pizza dough
Marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce
veggies like olives, onions, and peppers
meat
cheese
lots of water
For a year, I have been trying to figure out how to make a good pureed pizza. My family has been making homemade pizza for generations. It wasn't until the other night that I finally figured how to make a good pureed version. My wife is not a fan of pizza dough, and will gladly steal extra sauce and topping when she can. I had made a pizza for my wife and daughter to eat when they got home, because I was going to the high school for a TED Talk. When I came home half the pizza dough/crust was still there. WOW THAT'S IT! Skip the crust, and extra sauce and veggies.
There is enough crust under a piece of pizza you don't need the extra crust. You do need extra veggies to add flavor. The meat and sauce would otherwise overwhelm everything.
TOO MUCH CHEESE!?!
I've been asked about cheese being too sticky for G-tubes. My experience is that if the cheese is not too hot it doesn't stick to the tubing. Secondarily, it doesn't take much cheese to add flavor. Cheese and tomato sauce can overwhelm any recipe. Which is why it took me so long to come up with a good pizza recipe. Most nutritionist will tell you that you don't need much cheese in your diet to remain healthy. I agree. In these recipes, you only need enough cheese to retain that pizza flavor.
OLIVES AND PEPPERS AND ONIONS
These three and great flavor to a pizza puree
