Pizza Crust (Gluten Free)

"Published in Gourmet magazine, November 2005. "This crispy crust won't flop over on you, so it's wonderful for cocktail parties. It's delicious simply brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, focaccia-style, or topped with 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 pound sliced mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil leaves." Use Recipe #208712 for the brown-rice flour mix. Add more cornmeal to the pizza pan for additional flavor and texture. Once the crust is baked and you have added your toppings, you may need to move the pan up a few notches in the oven to get the cheese to melt and to heat the toppings all the way through."

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.

  1. 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.
