Gluten Free Thin Pizza Crust Food

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA CRUST RECIPE EVER (DAIRY-FREE + EGG-FREE)

Steps:

• In a glass measuring cup, combine warm water, cane sugar, and yeast. Quickly stir and leave it to sit for 5 minutes until it's frothy and foamy.
• In stand mixer, combine gluten free flour flour, salt, and xanthan gum (yup, extra from what's already in the mix), giving it a quick stir.
• Add oil and yeast mixture to dry ingredients and stir on low until it starts to combine.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then beat on medium-high for 3 minutes. Beating the xanthan gum helps with elasticity, which is very important for soft, chewy gluten-free pizza crust! The dough will be pretty wet and sticky, but don't worry. It's very different from regular dough until you bake it! Then it's magic.
• Leave dough in the bowl and cover with a tea towel to rise for 25-30 minutes. When you scrape the top of the dough, it should have lots of little air pockets.
• Preheat oven to 400 degree F. If using silicone mats, put the pans you'll be using in the oven. If not, lightly grease the pizza pans and dust with corn meal and tapioca starch. #nosoggybottom
• If using, take two silicone baking mats and lightly dust them with corn meal and tapioca starch, if desired.
• Scoop half of the pizza dough onto the center of the prepared silicone mat or pan.
• Wet your hands with water and press the dough into circle or rectangle. It's OK for it to be thin. I usually make mine about ¼- ½ inch thick.
• Continue wetting hands and pressing out dough until desired thickness and size is reached. Smooth with wet hands.
• Repeat with the other half of the pizza dough.
• Pull out one hot pan from the oven and very carefully slide the silicone mat onto the sheet and then into the oven. Repeat.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is opaque and dry to the touch.
• Add desired toppings, while cranking the oven temp up to 450 degrees F. Put topped pizzas back in the oven for 5-8 minutes
• If you like, crank the oven again to broil and broil pizzas until tops are to your liking. I really like those dark brown spots on my cheese, so I broil ours for about 4 minutes. But keep an eye on it! Broilers are finicky ad varying. So, check it every minute, at least! It can get burned if you try to wash a bowl right now. Seriously. Ask me how I know.
• Take pizzas out and let them cool on the pans for 5 minutes so you don't burn your face off.
• Enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

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.
