Patricks Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipes

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to room temperature. If warming egg whites, place whole eggs in a bowl of very warm water for a few minutes while gathering other ingredients.
• (From scratch: whisk together dry ingredients except yeast; set aside.)
• In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, olive oil, cider vinegar and water.
• Using a stand mixer (preferably), slowly add in the dry ingredient mix with yeast. Beat for 2-3 minutes on high to get a firm but very sticky dough that can still be spread; if dough is tight or resistant to spreading out on the pan, mix an extra 2-3 tablespoons of warm water into the dough until absorbed.(Note: this recipe may be mixed by hand in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon - stir as long as you can!)
• Preheat oven with stone to 500°F (static)/475° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• Remove top parchment and transfer pizza to hot stone.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned, bubbled, and firm.
• Remove to spread warm sauce and toppings, then bake for 2 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375° F (static)/ 350° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• After the crust has risen, bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust is risen and lightly browned.
• Spread with warm sauce and toppings (or if making focaccia, sprinkle fresh rosemary, sea salt or other toppings) and cook an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, if using.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST OR FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk water and sugar together in a bowl. Whisk in yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine gluten-free flour, rice flour, Italian seasoning, xanthan gum, gelatin, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk vinegar and olive oil into the yeast mixture; pour over flour mixture. Mix on high speed until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top; smooth out dough to fill the baking sheet. Let dough rest, about 10 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dough puffs up, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper off the top. Continue baking until dough is golden brown and edges are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
