We have been gluten free for almost 7 years now. We have really missed pizza. Up in Washington there was a pizza place called Garlic Jims that sold gourmet gf pizza.It was about $25 for a medium. We loved it. When we moved to a little town in Oregon, we didn't get to have pizza at all because there was nowhere that offered the gf stuff. (I was still intimidated by alot of the gluten free baking.) When we moved to Utah, we found Pier 49 had pizza but it was like $30 and it was small but pretty tasty. Five Buck pizza has gf but it's not really tasty but it's only $8. Dominos has gf pizza but it's not really great either. So, my sister decided we should make our own. We get to choose our own toppings and it doesn't break the bank. Here is the recipe:
Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Proof Yeast:
1 1/2 c warm (as hot as you can get it from the tap) water
1 t brown sugar
1 packet yeast (I use the pizza dough yeast)
Combine the water, sugar and yeast and set aside.
Combine:
5 1/2 c of gf flours (yesterday I used corn starch, tapioca flour and brown rice flour)
3 t baking powder
2 t xanthan gum
1 t salt
3 T brown sugar
Mix the dry in your mixer bowl.
Add the yeast mixture to your dry ingredients and just combine.
In a small bowl whisk together:
1/2 c olive oil
2 eggs
1/2 c vinegar
Add the whisked ingredients to your mixer and beat on high until the batter is smooth.
From my experience with gf baking, the batter for most breads will be goopy. I haven't had any dough that I can just handle without flour and/or oil.
Spray your pizza pans and sprinkle cornmeal on them. Spread out your pizza dough. This is the messiest part. I use flour to help. Then I spread olive oil over the top and sprinkle fresh chopped garlic, salt and pepper and oregano, basil and rosemary. Then cook at 400 for 10-15 minutes.
This is what mine looked like out of the oven.
This is what it looked like all dressed up and baked again.
