Ingredients

  • 2 cup Gluten-Free Flour Mix (recipe below)

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 package active dry yeast

  • 2 teaspoon sugar

  • 2 egg whites

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • Olive oil

  • Desired gluten-free pizza toppings such as Quick Gluten-Free Marinara Sauce (recipe below), gluten-free pepperoni or Canadian-style bacon, sliced or chopped vegetables, and/or gluten-free shredded cheese

Quick Gluten-Free Marinara Sauce

  • 2 28-oz cans whole tomatoes, undrained

  • 6 tablespoon snipped fresh basil

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Gluten Free Flour Mix

  • 3 cup white rice flour

  • 3 cup potato starch

  • 2 cup sorghum flour

  • 4 teaspoon xanthan gum

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl stir together Gluten-Free Flour Mix and salt; set aside. In a small saucepan combine milk and the water. Heat and stir over medium-low heat just until warm (105°F to 115°F). Remove from heat. Stir in yeast and sugar. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture; add egg whites and the 2 tablespoons oil. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

  2. Line two flat baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough in half (dough will be soft); place each dough portion on a prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each portion with 1/2 teaspoon additional oil. Using oiled hands, press each portion into a 9-inch circle, building up edges slightly. Let rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, place a cold pizza stone or flat baking sheet in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently slide one parchment sheet with pizza crust onto the hot baking stone or baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until bottom of crust is browned and top appears set. Return crust to cold baking sheet and remove from oven; slide onto a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining crust.

  4. Top crusts with desired gluten-free pizza toppings. Return pizzas, one at a time, to hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes more or until bottom of crust is browned and toppings are heated through.

Quick Gluten-Free Marinara Sauce

  1. Place tomatoes in a food processor or blender. Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth. Stir in basil; set aside.

  2. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until garlic is lightly browned. Stir in tomato mixture, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Use on pasta, pizzas, and bruschetta.

Gluten Free Flour Mix

  1. In a large airtight container whisk together rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, and xanthan gum. Cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 months.
