Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dry yeast
• 2/3 cup brown rice flour or gram flour or fava bean flour (I use 'garfava' flour which is a blend)
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons powdered milk or non-dairy powdered coffee creamer (Dairy alternative, 2 T tapioca flour or sweet rice flour in place of 2 T dry milk powder or non-dair)
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 2/3 cup water (110 degrees F)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. 2

   In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend all ingredients on low speed.

3. 3

   Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.

4. 4

   (If mixer bounces around bowl, dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) Dough will resemble soft bread dough.

5. 5

   Put mixture on lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan or 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version).

6. 6

   Liberally sprinkle rice flour on dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking to hands.

7. 7

   Make edges slightly thicker to hold toppings.

8. 8

   Bake pizza crust for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove from oven.

10. 10

    Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings.

11. 11

    Bake another 20 to 25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.
