Pizza!!

This post comes as a request from EveryDayAllergy.com.  So pizza lovers, thank them for making the request!  

Pizza Crust

2/3 cup Rice Flour

1/3 cup Sorghum Flour

1/4 cup Potato Flour

1 1/2 tsp Guar Gum

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp Gelatin

1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder

*  *  *  *  

1 1/2 tsp Yeast*

1/2 TBSP sugar

1 TBSP + 2 tsp Warm Water

*  *  *  *

2 Eggs, Room Temperature

**2/3 cup Soda Water, Room Temperature

1 TBSP Vegetable Oil

*If you have a yeast allergy or prefer to use starter in place of yeast, remove yeast along with 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup flours and replace with 1/2 cup starter. Make a note that starter adds a sourness to your baked goods (quite sharp compared to commercial sourdough bread) and will affect the final taste of baked goods.  Plain recipes like pizza dough or rolls are flavored very strongly by it, so I do not recommend it unless there is a medical reason.

1) Combine 1st list/Dry ingredients in a medium bowl

2) Combine 2nd list in a cereal bowl or cup and set aside until frothy

3) Combine 3rd list/Wet ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.  Add 1/2 of the Dry ingredients and mix well followed by the yeast mix also mixing well.  Finally add the remaining of the dry ingredients and mix well.

4) Use two 9 inch cake pans or a large deep dish pizza pan (relatively 13-16 inches diameter) ; press or roll out in pan. Let rise in a warm oven for 30 minutes.  Then Bake 375 for 20 minutes.

5) Freeze or refrigerate in a large ziploc bag or use right away.

When you use it be sure to brush oil over the the crust first to prevent the tomato sauce from making it soggy.

Non-Dairy Cheese: If you are using soy based Non-Dairy cheese (like Vegan Gourmet), you will likely need to heat the oven to 450 or higher to get the cheese to melt, so in this case, cover the entire top with the sauce and fixings to prevent the outer edge from burning. For high temp non-Dairy cheeses, the pizza is done when the cheese is melted.  If you still have difficulty with the edges burning, arrange tinfoil over and around the outer edge, though not touching the edge, before baking. 

Milk Based Cheese: If you don't need to use non-dairy cheese you will likely only need to heat the oven to 350 or 375 to cook the pizza.  Bake about 12 minutes for cake pan sized pizzas or 15-17 minutes for the larger deep dish sized crust.
