Garlic Herb Pizza Crust Gluten Free Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE CHEESE AND HERB PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 15-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
• Stir all-purpose baking flour, garbanzo bean flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, xanthan gum, Italian seasoning, oregano, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Dissolve 1 teaspoon of white sugar in lukewarm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top, and set aside until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat egg in a separate bowl with olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and garlic until smooth. Whisk yeast mixture into egg mixture and stir in flour mixture until no dry lumps remain. Press dough into prepared pan, leaving outer edge slightly thicker than the center.
• Cook in preheated oven until dough has risen and slightly firmed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Once topped with your favorite toppings, continue baking at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) until the crust is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove pizza from pan and cook directly on the oven rack for 5 minutes to crisp crust, if desired.

GARLIC-HERB PIZZA CRUST (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In a mixer, blend dry mix on low until blended. (Make ahead and store in plastic baggies in fridge or freezer).
• Add water, olive oil, honey, and cider vinegar.
• Beat on low for 1 minute, then beat on high for 2 minutes (dough will be very soft and sticky).
• Meanwhile, lightly brush pan with olive oil and dust liberally with sweet rice flour (Thin cookie sheet for thin crust, heavy pizza pan for thicker crust). (NOTE: Air-bake & perforated pans are not recommended.).
• Using a large rubber spatula, scrap down sides of bowl in order to clump dough together and scoop onto prepared pan.
• Liberally sprinkle sweet rice flour on dough and rolling pin cover (sock on rolling pin - or it will stick). Roll out to desired thickness (1/8" produces a delightfully crispy thin crust), continuing to sprinkle with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Bake crust for 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with desired toppings. Bake another 10-25 minutes (depending on thickness of crust - 15 is recommended for a very thin crispy crust).
