Italian Flat Bread Recipe

[gaynonna]

I just made Bette Hagmans Italian Flat Bread It is wonderful! After it baked, I spread basil pesto on it, put thin sliced tomatoes and mozzerella cheese on it and put in toaster oven long enough to melt cheese. Here is the recipe:

2 tsp sugar

1 cup lukewarm water (105 degrees or so)

1 packet yeast

1 cup rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1 1/2 tsp xanathan gum

1 TBSP minced onion

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp fennel

1 egg

3 TBSP olive oil, divided

2 TBSP parmesan cheese

Spray cookie sheet with non stick spray. Mix rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, minced onion, fennel and salt. Set aside.

Put sugar in water and add yeast. Set aside

In heavy duty mixer (kitchenaid) mix egg and 1 TBSP olive oil. Add yeast water. Add flour mix and beat on high for 2 minutes Pour dough into pan and spread to cover. (CAUTION: Cover your fingers with oil or you will have a sticky mess!) Drizzle remaining  olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. At this point you could also put sun dried tomatoes, ripe olives or other cheeses. Cover and let rise for 45-50 minutes. Bake in 400 preheated oven for 20=25 minutes until golden brown. Best bread I have had in a while, except for her featherlight bread
