    Do you feel like traveling today? What do you think about a trip to Italy?

    Wouldn't that be nice?

    Ah, well, there is the little matter of three kids and a house to keep going.

    Until I can get there in the real world, maybe we can just share a pizza?

    That sounds pretty good too.

    Plus, I'm bringing wine. It isn't summer entertaining without great food and wine.

    And, oh, this pizza. It is simple, fresh, seasonal and most importantly delicious.

    It is also incredibly easy to make. Since I'm gluten free, and gluten free crust can stick, I like to make it in a pizza pan. I just roll it out, parabake it, add my toppings and bake again. Since I've always got pizza dough in the freezer, this is one of my easy go-to meals.

    Paired with Estancia wines, I can't think of a better summer evening.

    I love Estancia wines because they are handcrafted with great purpose.

    The commitment to making the best wine possible and never compromising the process shows. The quality for the price just can't be beaten.

    Estancia was founded on the concept of “terroir”, which is the idea that environmental conditions, such as soil and climate, in which the grapes are grown give the wine its unique flavor and aroma. Estancia means “estate” in Spanish, and this name emphasizes their conviction that the world’s best wines capture the essence of their place of origin.

    Today, I've used Estancia Pinot Noir, which is fantastic with this Gluten Free Caprese Pizza, but I also really enjoy their Chardonnay.

    How are you entertaining with food and wine this summer?

      This looks incredible! I'm usually hesitant about gluten-free pizzas because of the crust, but this definitely looks like one to try! #client

        It is a really good one! Pictured is a corn-free version of my favorite gluten free crust and I think the version with corn flour is slightly better. (That is the one linked to in the post.)

      That pizza looks so good. I would like to try a gluten free crust but I don't have to have one. So far my belly has been able to process gluten just fine.

        If my digestive system wouldn't revolt I would totally make this with a traditional crust! My boys are not gluten free and I make them crusts all the time - it kills me because I want to dive in.

      This is an amazing recipe. You've made it very easy to follow, and now I'm so tempted to make one for myself. Pizza is something I've never made from stratch so would love the challenge 🙂

      This is a great gf crust, but if you aren't gluten free you could easily make it on a regular crust. Gluten Free flours can get expensive!

      I like your concept to keep pizza dough in freeze, so at a time of need you just take it out and make a pizza. The using of balsamic glaze is the winner to me. Delicious pizza and good wine, a great combination.
