Recipe: Gluten Free Pizza

There are quite a few gluten free pizza recipes around the internet, but here is one I hadn’t seen before.

Gluten Free Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Pkg. instant yeast
• 1 cup sweet rice flour
• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 c. sorghum flour
• 2 T oil of choice (I used canola) (plus a little extra for browning crust)
• 1 C. WARM (not hot) water (105-115 F)
• 1 tsp. regular cane sugar

Baking Instructions:

1. Prepare yeast- in a large glass or plastic bowl, add yeast and sugar to warm water. Still gently with a wooden or plastic utensil (I use a wooden chopstick) Allow to set for several minutes (about 10 minutes) so the yeast “blooms”.
2. Add flours, oil and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Once fully combined, it should be a nice ball shape. Allow to sit in bowl for about 5 minutes.
3. Place dough onto surface dusted with rice flour or cornstarch. Work it into a round. I find this works easiest by picking the dough up and allowing it to hang from my hand, then turning and repeating until I have a nice, semi-round shape of desired thickness. This made a crust approx. 12 inches in diameter.
4. Place dough onto stoneware (or other pizza pan).
5. Top with desired toppings, we used sauce, ground meat and cheese because that’s what I had on hand. Sprinkle top with herb mix if available. Brush edges not covered by toppings with a little bit of oil for browning.
6. Bake at 450F for about 15 minutes (our second pizza took less time than the first, so keep a close eye on it!)
