Making your own crust means you can make it as thick or thin as you like it! Personally, I am not a fan of thin, cardboard like crusts. I like the crust to be a little bit fluffy. To me, this is the perfect crust pizza!
Dry ingredients:
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons GF flour mix (I have used different flours and cup for cup or all purpose still works well, but I prefer a feather light mixture.)
2 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar (Divided- add the 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients, but put the 1/2 tsp sugar on top of the yeast and water. )
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons quick rising yeast (Put the 1/2 tsp sugar and yeast in the warm water, before adding to the dry ingredients.)
Wet Ingredients:
4 Eggs
1 teaspoon vinegar (I usually use apple cider vinegar)
1 1/4 cups warm water
You want the mixture to be like frosting. The texture is different then a rolled out dough.
Mix together. Beat 3 minutes on medium high. Spray cookie sheet with gf non-stick spray. Spread out dough, it will be wet kind of like frosting and you’ll need to spread it with a spatula. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes. Top with favorite toppings: sauce, hamburger, sausage, ham, etc. Bake for 8 more minutes.
*If you are making the Turkey Club Pizza, before you cook it for 20 minutes. You will need to do the lemon juice and sesame seeds.
Pizza Sauce
Option 1: Small to med. can of tomato sauce (extra sauce can be used for dipping the pizza or bread sticks into.) Add Italian herbs, Basil, oregano and parsley flakes. I like to add some garlic powder and onion powder, too. I do everything to taste.
Option 2: Use spaghetti sauce. (I suggest a meat flavored one or garlic herb.)
Option 3: Gluten free Ranch dressing. Great for chicken pizzas.
Option 4: Gluten free Alfredo sauce
