THE BEST traditional hand tossed style pizza.
This was the best Gluten Free Pizza I have had thus far... and it has been at least three years of being almost totally gluten free. I can handle small amounts of gluten, but I do try to limit that to every 4 days. This was a recipe adapted from Ginger Lemon Girl's website and my kids and I were in HEAVEN. Hubby and Brother in Law even tried it and they thought it wasn't bad!! My husband is VERY honest with me so I know not bad is GOOD!
Traditional Style Pizza Crust
1 TBSP active dry yeast
2/3 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 - 1/2 cup white rice flour (reserve until the end)
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 salt
3/4 cup warm milk (warm to 110 degrees F)
1 tsp olive oil
t tsp cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 425. Grease pan good. In mixer blend yeast, flours, xanthan gum, gelatin powder, garlic powder, sugar and salt with paddle. Add warm milk, oil and vinegar. Beat on high for 2 minutes. This was when I determined that more flour was required. I added some white rice flour while mixing until it became a bit firmer. I emptied it out on to the pan and rolled it in more white rice flour. You will want to keep that nearby to use while patting dough onto the pan. It gets very sticky. Pat out into shape, size and thickness that you want. I wanted to try it a bit thicker as you will see in the pictures. I kept the edges thicker as well... This worked out GREAT! Bake for 10 minutes or until it is getting brown. Top with the topings you want or freeze the crust for later use. I like to top the pizza with the toppings and then flash freeze it for when we are in a rush or want to bring pizza with us. Bake another 10-15 minutes until the topings are melted. This was AMAZING pizza.. the outside was perfect... not mushy, not too hard.. but the whole thing was a delight!!!! My new favorite!!
