How does a tasty scone pizza sound? Here are the ingredients you’ll need to build your own scone pizza at home.

Gluten Free Scone Pizzas

Crust Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup potato starch
3 tbsps. tapioca starch
4 tsps. gluten-free baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
2 tbsps. honey
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 to 2/3 cup buttermilk

Baking Scone Crust:

Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the brown rice flour, cornmeal, potato starch, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the butter and use your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients, forming a coarse meal. Make a well in the dry ingredients.
Mix together the honey, egg, and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk.
Pour into the well in the dry ingredients.
Stir with a fork. I like to use my hands at this point to gather everything up and form a soft but not sticky dough. If it is too dry, add more buttermilk.
Lightly flour the counter with rice flour and pat the dough into a cake 1/2 inch thick.
Cut out pie-shaped pieces or use a biscuit cutter and cut out rounds.
Place on the cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if you like, or leave plain.
Bake on the middle rack for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden.

Scone Toppings Ideas:

Tomato sauce, fresh basil, chopped fresh garlic, grated mozzarella
Tomato sauce, cooked broccoli, sauteed sliced mushrooms, chopped fresh garlic, grated mozzarella and provolone.
Tomato sauce, sauteed onion, chopped cooked bacon, grated cheddar cheese and mozzarella
Tomato sauce, sauteed sliced onion and colored peppers, fresh basil, grated mozzerella and fontinella.

Pat the dough into a pizza pan with parchment paper. Bake it for 5 minutes at 400 F. Spread the toppings on and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
