Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Gluten Free Pizza Crust
adapted from Complete Gluten-Free Cookbook by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt

2/3 C sorghum flour
1/2 C quinoa flour
1/3 C potato starch
1/4 C tapioca starch
1 t granulated sugar
2 t xantham gum
1 T instant yeast
3/4 t salt

1 1/4 C water
1 T olive oil
1 t cider vinegar

Grease a 15x10 inch pan or 16" round pan. Preheat oven to 400.

Combine all dry ingredients. Set aside. Combine wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix with beaters or in a food processor until well combined. Book recommends beating for 4 minutes but I haven't noticed that long being necessary.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 12 minutes. Add topping and bake another 10 minutes, or if using Vegan Gourmet cheese, just put it under the broiler for 5 minutes. For best results, use a baking stone.

Sounds yummy!
How does this compare to a wheat crust? Is is really crispy or more like a bread crust?

[Valerie]

When made in a baking stone it turns out crispy.

Anyone have any pictures of this one in action?

[Valerie]

I think I have some on the camera. I'll look.

Any suggestion on what I could use instead of quinoa flour? Could I just use more of the other flour? or maybe chickpea flour?

[Valerie]

chickpea flour would work well instead of quinoa flour

Thanks. Quinoa never seemed to agree with my digestion.

I have a GF Raw Pizza Crust recipe for anyone who is interested. It requires a dehydrator. But it sooo goood! I am looking forward to having one as well as trying this GF pizza crust recipe when my digestion is back in order
