Another Pizza Thread

My new avatar shows my pizza success. I made a homemade pizza crust (with yeast, followed a wheat flour recipe and it worked great) and topped it with sauce, raw goat cheese, Trader Joe's turkey bacon (chopped and fried) and pineapple chunks. Too bad I'm now on a diet and can't enjoy it again for a while.

That sounds wonderful!!! YUM!!!

Care to share the recipe for the dough? DS may be going gluten-free very soon and I want to surprise him with a great pizza.

Congratulations on your pizza success! It looks just like the real thing.

I'd love to try it if it's bean- free. Can you share the recipe?

I used some Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour, which has some bean flour. BUT, you could just use br. rice flour, potato starch and tapioca flour without the Bob's.

Flour Mix

3 C Br. Rice Flour

1 C Potato Starch

1/2 C Tapioca Flour

2-1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum

1 C Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour

Sift 3 times.

Pizza Crust

1-1/2 C Warm Water

1 Tbs. Dry yeast

1 tsp. Apple cider vinegar

1 Tbs. Sugar or honey

1/3 C Olive oil

2 tsp. Salt

3+ C gluten-free Flour Mix

2 tsp. Xanthan gum (sift in with flour)

Garlic Powder, optional

Dissolve yeast in warm water, add vinegar and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until slightly foamy. Add olive oil and salt. Add 2 C flour mix (with xanthan gum sifted in) and stir well. Add garlic powder if desired. Keep adding flour, 1/4 C at a time, until dough is smooth and forms a ball. You might need more than the 3 cups. (I don't actually measure at this point.) Knead for 3-4 minutes. Roll out with well-floured rolling pin on board dusted with rice flour. Roll fairly thin. (It will make one very large or two small pizzas.) Let rise for about 45 minutes in a warm place. Bake for 15 minutes at 400. Top with sauce, cheese, etc and bake until cheese is bubbly.

I do a lot by "feel", so this is as close as I could come to a "real" recipe.

BTW - has my avatar changed back to the "L" from California Adventure for everyone, or just on my computer? Edit - one computer has it right, one shows the old one. Weird.

I edited this - bake it for 15 minutes first, not just 10, don't know what I was thinking.

Thanks for sharing the recipe!! I can't wait to try it.

I see the pizza in your avatar.

Congrats Liz!! We have a pizza crust that we like a lot, but I'll have to compare and maybe try yours!
