Polenta Pizza Recipe

Polenta Pizza Recipe

I’m not sure if it’s healthier than regular pizza, but it’s a lot better than I was expecting it to be. It’s definitely not crispy or bread-like, but it’s a nice change from typical pizza dough, and I’ll definitely be making it again!

The best part of this recipe is that you can completely adapt it to your taste or to complement the rest of the food that you’re serving. Pile on your favorite toppings, add a thin layer of pizza or marinara sauce, use fresh basil, tomatoes and mozzarella for a caprese-style pizza – the possibilities are absolutely endless. Eat it as a main dish or cut into smaller servings for an appetizer. Enjoy!
