Pizza Crust (gluten-free)

*I made this for dinner last night and it was excellent. It's amazing what

you can do without gluten. . .I'm always surprised!

 

1 Tbsp. yeast

3/4 cup soy milk, room temperature

1/2 cup potato starch (may substitute partial potato flour)

3/4 cup cornstarch

1 Tbsp. xanthan gum

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup oil (use sparingly)

 

Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine yeast and soy milk. Stir to

dissolve yeast. Set aside.

 

In medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients and shortening. Mix well.

 

To dry ingredients, slowly add soy milk/yeast mixture. Mix well. Dough

will look wet, thick, and pasty but is quite workable if you spray your

hands with nonstick spray or keep your hands damp with water. This is a

soft dough.

 

Roll or pat out dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet (or baking stone).

For a thick crust, pat out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. For a thin crust,

pat out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. A 12-inch circle will produce a

" hand-tossed " thickness --- not too thick, not too thin.

 

Top as desired.

 

Bake 15 - 25 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. Use a spatula to lift

up the pizza to check for light browning on the bottom of the crust the

first time you make it.

 

Consider baking this crust and freezing it without toppings. Then you only

have to thaw, top, and bake briefly.

 

***Here's the method I used and it worked well: bake crust for about 10

minutes and remove from oven; add toppings and bake in oven for about 10

minutes more.

 

***Toppings: 1) thin layer of olive oil, fresh herbs, sliced veggies

(zucchini, onion rings, sliced tomatoes, etc.)

2) thin layer of tomato sauce, dried herbs, vegan

melty cheese (recipe in archives), and toppings (olives, peppers, onions,

etc.)

 

ENJOY! This is a great recipe!
