Gluten Free Pizza recipe courtesy of Sure Talent Books Making gluten free pizza dough is very simple – all you really have to do is substitute the wheat flour for something else like rice flour, potato flour, or corn flour. Many bread recipes can be altered using these flours, also. Xantham gum is also seen as an ingredient in gluten free dough recipes. It is a binding agent that is used to replace the stretchy quality that is created when gluten is activated. Giuseppe Lentini suggests first cooking the pizza dough on the bottom rack for portion of cooking so that the crust can develop a nice crispy texture. Then, finish the pizza on the middle or top rack. 1¼ Cups Cornstarch ¾ Cup Millet Flour 2 Cups White Rice Flour ¼ Cup Teff Flour 1½ Tablespoons Xanthan Gum 1½ Teaspoons Salt ¼ Teaspoon Dried Oregano ¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder 1 Package Active Dry Yeast 1-Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tablespoons Sugar 1-Tablespoon Honey 1/3-Cup Vegetable Oil 2 Eggs 1 Egg White 1¾ Cups Warm Water (110-115°) This dough recipe makes enough for dough for two 12 inch round pizzas. Place Cornstarch, flours, Xanthan gum, salt, oregano, garlic powder and yeast in mixing bowl; mix. Add, vinegar, sugar, honey, oil, eggs, egg white and lastly the warm water; mix. Increase mixing speed to high, and beat for 4 minutes. Coat your pizza pans with cooking spray. Dough will be a bit difficult to work with (sticky). Work the dough out as best as possible with a spatula. I then spray surface of pizza dough with cooking spray (very light coating). Finish spreading the pizza dough out with hands – if still to sticky, try using a small piece of parchment paper or wax paper sprayed with cooking spray to help spread the dough. Form the dough around the edge of the pizza thicker than the inner region in order to create a nice edge/crust. Allow to sit in a warm, dry location (free of drafts) covered loosely with plastic wrap for 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375° and pre-bake crusts for 20 minutes. Remove pizza crusts from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400°. Add pizza sauce, cheese and any other desired toppings to the pizza crusts and then place back in oven for an additional 20 minutes (note: if using sausage or other raw meat, it should be precooked before adding to pizza). Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting.
