The preparation is a modified version of a typically wheat-based and cheese-laden dish, tailored for individuals with specific dietary restrictions. It excludes gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and dairy, a group of foods derived from milk. The result is a culinary option that caters to sensitivities and allergies, allowing a broader range of people to enjoy a familiar favorite. As an example, a crust made from rice flour and topped with plant-based mozzarella substitutes the standard ingredients.
This modified dish addresses the needs of those managing conditions like celiac disease, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, or dairy allergies. Its increasing availability reflects a growing awareness of food sensitivities and a desire for inclusive food options. Historically, specialized recipes were less common, but increased demand has driven innovation in alternative ingredients and culinary techniques, leading to wider accessibility.
