GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST



Gluten-Free Pizza Crust image

Pizza. Need I say more. You don't need gluten for good pizza. This is gluten-free pizza.

Provided by Shauna Ahern

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

350 grams All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix, recipe follows
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for sprinkling
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup warm water
400 grams millet flour
300 grams sweet rice flour
300 grams potato starch

Steps:

  • Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour mix, yeast, psyllium, and salt. Pour this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Finishing the dough: With the stand mixer running on low, add the olive oil, then the egg. Slowly, pour in the water. Here's the important part: gluten-free pizza dough will not look the same as gluten dough. It will be far wetter, even a little like pancake batter. As you pour the water, look for the dough to come together around the paddle. However, when your turn off the mixer, the dough should slump off the paddle immediately.
  • Letting the dough rise: Scrape the pizza dough into a large greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and set the bowl in a warm place. Gluten-free dough does not rise as much as gluten dough. Instead, you are looking for the dough to hydrate fully and increase in size by about one-third. When the dough has risen a bit and has the texture of traditional dough, about 1 1/2 hours, you're ready to bake.
  • Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone - and we recommend you do - put it in the oven now.
  • If you own a pizza peel, lay down a piece of parchment paper on it now. If you don't own one, put the parchment paper on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Put the dough down on the parchment paper then top it with another one the same size. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough slowly and evenly. You want a pizza dough about 12 inches in diameter. Take the top piece of parchment paper off the pizza dough.
  • Sprinkle some olive oil over the top of the dough. Bake the dough in the oven until the edges are starting to brown and crisp and the top of the pizza is a little firm to the touch, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Pull out the pizza dough and top with whatever toppings you desire.
  • Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.

Number Of Ingredients 11

85g [1⁄2 cup + 1 tbsp] brown rice flour
85g [3⁄4 cup] tapioca flour
7g [1 3⁄4 tsp] dried yeast (make sure it is gluten free)
2 tsp [2 tsp] xanthan gum
1 tsp [1 tsp] agar powder or agar flakes
pinch [pinch] salt
1 tsp [1 tsp] dried oregano (optional)
1 tsp [1 tsp] olive oil
1 tsp [1 tsp] vinegar
150ml [1⁄2 cup + 1 2⁄3 tbsp] warm water
toppings of choice

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, yeast, xanthan gum, agar, salt, and optional oregano. In a separate bowl mix the olive oil, vinegar, and warm water. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Beat well for 5-6 minutes by hand, or for 3 minutes in a food mixer. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, or lightly oil and rice flour. Put the dough on the baking sheet and using your hands knead the dough a few times until it is smooth. Using either your hands or a brown rice floured rolling pin, form the pizza dough into a smooth circular shape approximately 30cm (12") in diameter. Sprinkling with rice flour to stop it getting sticky as you work. Make the edges slightly thicker to retain the filling. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. For the tomato sauce we used plain crushed tomatoes for quickness, however you can make a tomato sauce to suit your taste, or use a store bought version. Then top with grated cheese, chopped veggies, jalepenos, herbs etc. Put back into the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown and base is crispy.

PIZZA CRUST I (WHEAT FREE)



Pizza Crust I (Wheat Free) image

From William Davis, MD's book, Wheat Belly Cookbook. He says, "Here's a recipe for pizza crust that you can actually hold in your hands. That may sound like nothing special, but when we eliminate wheat from our lives, we also eliminate the unique viscoelastic properties of wheat gluten, the quality that provides wheat foods' portability and the unique sturdiness that allows you to stuff a pita full of ingredients or hold a sandwich between your hands. In this recipe, we re-create these properties by using a plentiful quantity of cheese mixed with nonwheat flours. This confers sufficient strength to the dough to allow you to confidently eat a slice of pizza with your hands without a lapful of tomato sauce! For a classic pizza, remove the baked crust from the oven and layer with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and your favorite toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese melts." Per serving: 185 calories, 9 g protein, 5 g carbohydrates, 16 g total fat, 3 g saturated fat, 2 g fiber, 153 mg sodium.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH



Gluten-Free Pizza Dough image

The secret ingredient in this easy-to-work dough is potato-it provides just the right texture and flavor as well as potassium. You'll need a ricer to ensure smooth potatoes for your dough, but we love this gluten-free recipe so much that we think you'll agree it's worth the small investment.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds pizza dough (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large all-purpose potatoes (about 14 ounces)
1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons agave syrup or honey
One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
Kosher salt
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
  • Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
  • Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Form the dough into two or four balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

AMAZING WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA CRUST



Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust image

A healthy whole wheat crust that comes out soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Use with your favorite pizza toppings or pizza recipes.

Provided by Anonymous

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon white sugar
1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.
  • Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.
