Gluten-free Pizza

A favorite meal in my family, especially when my children were younger, was pizza. The following recipe creates a crust that is a bit thicker than flat, thin crusts. It has become a family favorite!

Make sure all brands used for the ingredients are gluten-free.

Ingredients
3/4 cup Sorghum flour
1/2 cup Tapioca flour
2 Tablespoons Almond flour
1 3/4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon oil
1 egg
Gluten-free pizza sauce from a jar or can
Gluten-free pizza toppings such as pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions, sausage, or hamburger
2 cups of gluten-free shredded Mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place parchment paper on a 12 inch pizza pan.

Blend dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Place wet ingredients in the bowl of a large mixer and blend. Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture. When it is blended turn the mixer to high and beat for 3 1/2 minutes.

Spoon the dough onto the parchment paper. With a spatula spread the dough into a 12 inch circle with slightly raised edges. Bake for 10 minutes.



Remove from the oven The dough will be slightly brown and is ready for the addition of sauce and toppings.



Add pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese begins to turn brown. Approximately 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven, cut into slices and serve.
