Honest! It is Really Good Gluten, Egg and Yeast Free Pizza Crust. My previous version of crust is acceptable, but this one is much better. I fixed it in a 9" pie pan and made Deep Dish Pizza. It was way too much for just me. If I do that again, I'll 1/2 the recipe. I think it would be good pressed out thin and baked on a pizza pan, too, but I only needed the special crust for one person this time.
Really Good Gluten, Egg and Yeast Free Pizza Crust
In a mixing bowl combine
1 cup flour mix
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup tapioca flour (available inexpensively at Asian Markets)
1/2 cup dried milk powder (I used dried goat's milk. I think you could omit this and just use whatever "milk" you tolerate, but it did make the dough nice)
1 tablespoon ground flax
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme flakes (or oregano or Italian seasonings or all of them!)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Add and mix well
2 tablespoons olive oil
Finally, add little by little until the dough clings together enough to form a ball
1/2 to 3/4 cup very warm water
Form the dough into a ball and let it rest, covered, for 10 to 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 375F for pan pizza or 425F for thin crust pizza.
Pan Pizza
Serves 2
When ready to bake the pizza, grease a 9" pie pan well, then press the dough out evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Pre-bake the crust for about 8 minutes at 375F. Top it with desired sauce and toppings.
Note: Watch out for processed meats, they very often have hidden gluten in them -- if they say "natural flavorings," just figure it is gluten!
Bake the pizza at 375F for about 20 minutes or it is becoming golden brown on top.
Thin Crust Pizza
Serves 2
Sprinkle a round pizza pan with cornmeal and press the dough out into a 12" circle. Pre-bake the pizza crust for about 6 minutes at 425F. Top it with desired sauce and toppings.
Note: Watch out for processed meats, they very often have hidden gluten in them -- if they say "natural flavorings," just figure it is gluten!
Bake the pizza at 425F for about 9 minutes or it is becoming golden brown on top.
