Pizza Crust (Gluten Free)
- Ready In:
- 1hr 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, plus additional for brushing
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal (or more if desired)
- 1 cup brown rice flour (use recipe 208712)
- 1⁄2 cup millet flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package fast rising yeast
- 3⁄4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105-115 F)
directions
- Lightly oil pizza pan and sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 425°F
- Mix flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add water and 1 teaspoon oil and mix until just combined, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Mixture will be thin and more like a batter than a dough. Increase speed to high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Spoon batter into center of pan and use wet offset spatula to spread to edges of pan in a thin layer.
- Loosely cover pan with an oiled sheet of plastic (oiled side down) and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes.
- Bake pizza crust until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover crust with toppings of your choice. Bake until toppings are heated through, about 6 minutes (this will vary depending on toppings). Transfer pizza on pan to a rack to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.

Hosted family pizza party for 17 but needed to find gluten free option for my aunt. Found this after not noticing at grocery store the recipe I quickly looked up had ingredients that are not common to non gluten free cooks. I only purchased brown rice flour so substituted the millet with more brown rice. I didn't have xanthan gum but found chia seed substitute. I substituted the corn meal with crushed gluten free tostada shells. The end result being "one of the best" my aunt has had! I was very happy because I knew the pizza the rest of the family had was a sure thing on greatness I've made it so often. I hoped for something close on the gluten free crust. We set up a topping bar and everyone made their own pizza. She did have to eat with a fork because she went heavy on toppings. Enjoyed the pizza so much she ate more than she realized. Great pizza and great family day!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
