ULTRA-THIN GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Add fresh yeast in 1/2 cup (1,2 dl) lukewarm water. Stir to get it dissolved. Place it on the kitchen counter. It is ready and activated if there is a thin white foam on the top.
• Measure 3/4 cup of rice flour (106g), 1/2 cup of buckwheat flour (60g), 1 cup of corn starch (112g), and 1/2 tsp salt. Add them to a bowl and mix them thoroughly.
• Add the activated yeast and an additional 1/4 cup of lukewarm water (0,6 dl) to the bowl of flour and stir well with a spoon or spatula. You may see lumps at the beginning, but keep going. Stir hard until everything is smooth. The dough or rather a batter is perfect if it is like a slow-flowing paste. You draw a line with your spoon through it, it should flow back slowly.
• I place the dough covered with a kitchen towel in the oven and proof it there for approx. 30 minutes at 120-140 Fahrenheit (50-60 degrees Celsius). Anything higher than that (even with 1 degree) will kill the yeast. ? The dough is ready to be rolled if the batter is very soft to the touch. And if you draw a line with your spoon, you see a bubbly, fluffy texture beneath.
• Once your gluten-free pizza dough has risen to the perfect consistency, you need to add 1/4 cup of rice flour (35g). Don't overwork it, just stir it in until it is mixed well. It is ready if it forms a ball and comes off the side of the bowl without leaving any trace. It is still soft and wet to the touch but not sticky.
• Divide the dough into two balls.
• Sprinkle some rice flour on your rolling mat or parchment paper (even if non-stick). I use the one on which I plan to bake the pizza. It is not easy to transfer it once rolled out.
• Place one ball in the middle and cover it with a saran wrap/cling foil.
• Roll it out at most to a 30 cm (12-inch) diameter circle. It will be super thin!! Like Italian pizza crust thin.
• Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and pre-bake it for AT MOST 3 MINUTES!!! Just until the top dries up a bit and you can spread the pizza sauce on it. The crust is no longer shiny but matte.
• Spread your sauce (No-Cook Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce), add your favorite toppings and bake your perfect gluten-free pizza at a 390 Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) temperature. I find that 15 minutes should be enough to melt the cheese and bake the toppings. It is beautiful, like any thin Italian pizza. Enjoy!

THIN PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let proof for 5 minutes or until foamy. Can use rapid rise yeast.
• Stir in salt, oil, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well.
• Add 1 1/2 cups flour: stir until a sticky ball forms.
• Knead 5 minuted on flour surface until smooth and elastic. Coat with cooking spray, place in a bowl and cover.
• Let rise 30 minutes for thicker dough, and 2 hours for thinner dough.
• After rising time punch down. Thinner crust divide in half. If thicker crust use all of dough. let rest 10 minutes.
• Dust pizza pan with cornmeal. Flatten dough on pan; gently pulling and stretching to fit pan, if it resists let dough rest another 5 minutes.
• Brush with oil. Take a fork and pierce dough several times to keep dough from forming air pockets. Bake for 7 minutes.
• Take dough out and put you favorite topping on and then continue baking for another 7 to 10 minutes.
• If you want to make grilled pizza I usually make small individual pizzas that way everyone can add their own topping from an array of ingredients. Place flattened dough on grill for about 5 minutes flip and add all ingredients for pizza. cook until cheese is melted and bottom of crust is crispy.
