Garlic-Herb Pizza Crust (Gluten Free)

Ingredients

DRY MIX

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2/3 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
• 3/4 dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

WET INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F, microwave about 25 secs)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• sweet rice flour, for rolling

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. 2

   In a mixer, blend dry mix on low until blended. (Make ahead and store in plastic baggies in fridge or freezer).

3. 3

   Add water, olive oil, honey, and cider vinegar.

4. 4

   Beat on low for 1 minute, then beat on high for 2 minutes (dough will be very soft and sticky).

5. 5

   Meanwhile, lightly brush pan with olive oil and dust liberally with sweet rice flour (Thin cookie sheet for thin crust, heavy pizza pan for thicker crust). (NOTE: Air-bake & perforated pans are not recommended.).

6. 6

   Using a large rubber spatula, scrap down sides of bowl in order to clump dough together and scoop onto prepared pan.

7. 7

   Liberally sprinkle sweet rice flour on dough and rolling pin cover (sock on rolling pin - or it will stick). Roll out to desired thickness (1/8" produces a delightfully crispy thin crust), continuing to sprinkle with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

8. 8

   Bake crust for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove from oven and top with desired toppings. Bake another 10-25 minutes (depending on thickness of crust - 15 is recommended for a very thin crispy crust).
