<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I see there are many people interested in a good pizza crust. I have some recipes in my folders, and you need to experiment those and chose your favorite one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thin Yeast Crust 1 1/2 teaspoons instant dry yeast granules 1 cup warm 110 degree water 1 teaspoon sugar 2/3 cup rice flour 1/2 cup potato starch flour 1 tablespoon potato flour 1 1/2 teaspoon shortening 1 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 425 In a mixing bowl dissolve the yeast and sugar in a 1/2 cup of the warm water. Let it sit until it bubbles and the quantity doubles. Add all the rest of the ingredients and just enough water to get the consistency of cake frosting that will spread and not run when all the ingredients are thoroughly beaten. Use a greased pan and pour the batter in the centre and using a spatula spread to the desired shape and size turning up the edges slightly with a little extra thickness of the batter. You may proceed to add toppings immediately and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. If it is a crispier crust you would like, bake the crust for ten minutes and then add the toppings and bake for a further 25 minutes or until done. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betty Hagman's --Pizza mix: [This recipe has been removed from the logfiles, as] [it is copyrighted material---the CELIAC Listowners] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pizza Crust #2 1/4 c. milk (a milk substitute could be used) 2 large eggs (or egg substitute) 1/3 c. cornstarch 2/3 c. rice flour optional: 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 tsp. salt 1/4 c. shortening, melted Combine milk and eggs.

You can hold a slice in your hand and it won't crumble! You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas. 1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast 2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour 1/2 cup tapioca flour 2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder* 2 teaspoons xanthan gum 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning 2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees) 1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 teaspoon cider vinegar cooking spray Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.) Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned. Preparation = 45 minutes. Serves 6.
