Not so long ago, anyone who was found to have a gluten intolerance had a pretty difficult time finding anything like pizza crust, anywhere.
Now, finally, recipe developers are seeing the need for recipes like this and feeding that need with wonderful cookbooks like the one this recipe came from 125 Best Gluten-Free Bread Machine Recipes by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt.
I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance a year ago and the one thing I really craved was pizza. Just let me have pizza one more time! Well it wasn’t happening at the local pizza place that’s for sure.
Now, with bread machine at hand and Donna and Heather’s cookbook at my side I can try pizza and all sorts of breads that are designed for those of us who can’t digest wheat.
This cookbook is a wonderful resource for gluten free bread recipes.
Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sorghum flour
- 1/2 cup quinoa flour
- 1/3 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon bread machine yeast, or instant yeast
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine sorghum flour, quinoa flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, sugar, xanthan gum, yeast and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Pour water, oil and vinegar into the bread machine baking pan.
- Select the Dough Cycle. Gradually add the dry ingredients as the bread machine is mixing. Scrape with a rubber spatula while adding the dry ingredients. Try to incorporate all the dry ingredients within 1 to 2 minutes. Stop the bread machine as soon as the kneading portion of the cycle is complete. Do not let the bread machine finish the cycle.
- Gently transfer the dough to a prepared 15- by 10-inch (40 by 25 cm) jelly roll pan, lightly greased. Using a moistened rubber spatula, spread evenly to the edges. Do not smooth the top.
- Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes or until bottom is golden and crust is partially baked.
- Use the pizza dough right away or wrap it airtight and freeze for up to 4 weeks. If you freeze the dough, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using it to make pizza.
