Gluten Free Pizza



If you have been waiting to eat a decent GF pizza from scratch, wait no longer. This is a very simple and versatile recipe I tweaked and morphed together from Gluten Free Baking Classics and The Gluten Free Cooking School. I got rave reviews from all who have tried this recipe and so will you!


Pizza Sauce

One 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (w/ Italian seasonings)
1/2 of a 6 oz. can of tomato paste
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. fennel seed
6 fresh basil leaves, minced

2 tsp. sugar

salt and pepper to taste


Put all ingredients for the sauce in a small pan and warm over low heat while you prepare the pizza recipe.

1 tsp. xanthan gum

1 1/4 tsp. salt

1 TBSP sugar

½ tsp. garlic powder

Favorite cheeses and GF toppings




1.  Whisk all the dry ingredients together until well combined in the bowl of an electric mixer.

 

2.  Pour warm water and olive oil into dry mixture and mix for 30 seconds, use spatula to scrape beaters and bowl, beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scrape bowl and beaters again, stir batter with spatula.

 

3.  Use a spatula to add batter to center of parchment lined sheet pan and spread it evenly to a 10-12 inch circle, make sure outer edge of pizza is higher than center. Cover with oiled plastic and let rise in a warm draft free place for 40 minutes until very puffy. Preheat oven to 400F while dough rises

 

4.  Brush oil over edge of risen dough and bake crust 10-15 minutes. Remove crust from oven and spread sauce over surface except for the edges. Add toppings of your choice and bake in center of oven 8-10 minutes.


5.  Remove from oven and let pizza rest 5 minutes on cooling rack. Slice and serve.
