PIZZA

Gluten Free life is just not complete until you've found a good Pizza recipe. I've been trying to perfect one for years and I think I'm almost there. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! This is a modified version of two different recipes found at King Arthur Flour and GlutenFreeGobsmacked.com

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup Gluten Free Flours
2 TBSP powdered milk
1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp each: garlic powder, fennel seed, and dried basil
1 TBSP sugar or honey
1 TBSP yeast
1 cup warm water
2 TBSP olive oil (for dough)
2 TBSP olive oil (for pan)

1. Mix together GF Flours, powdered milk, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, garlic, fennel, and basil.

2. In a separate bowl, combine warm water, 2 TBSP olive oil, sugar, and yeast. Add ¼ cup of the mixture from step 1 to the yeast mixture. Stir together and set aside for 5-10 minutes until yeast mixture has risen well.

3. Using a stand or hand mixer, combine wet and dry mixtures on medium speed for 4-6 minutes.

4. Line pizza pan with parchment paper or generously grease. Drizzle at least 2 TBSP olive oil into center of pan.

5. Scrape the pizza dough (This won’t have the consistency of dough! It will be batter like) onto the olive oil pool on the pan. With wet hands, squish the dough out evenly onto the surface of the pizza pan.

6. Bake crust at 425°F for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from parchment paper if desired, but not necessary.

7. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and bake an additional 5-8 minutes or until cheese is melted.
