wheat free pizza recipe

Wheat-Free and Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your guests won't know it's wheat and gluten-free :


1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder
2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey


1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks
blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum,
salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low
speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and

vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer
bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add
water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough
does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft
bread dough.

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for
thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version)
that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally
sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan,
continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking
to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the
toppings. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove
from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce
and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top
is nicely browned


You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas.
