Gluten Free Pizza Crust With Cassava Flour Recipes

CASSAVA FLOUR PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Pour the water into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 15 to 30 seconds. You want the water to be slightly warm, or lukewarm. You should be able to dip your finger in it and not feel much of a difference between the temperature of your finger and the water. That's perfect! Add the yeast and the sugar. Give it a quick stir and set aside for about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the flours, ground flax, starch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dehydrated onions. Use a whisk to sift and stir the ingredients together.
• Pour the frothy yeast mixture into the flour mix and stir to combine. Keep stirring until all the liquid is incorporated, and you can form one large dough ball.
• You can cover the bowl and let the dough sit for 30 minutes or proceed immediately with rolling it out-both options work.
• When the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C. Cut the dough ball in half and lay out a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper on the counter. Press the dough with your hands into a 10 to 12 inch round, depending on your preference for crust thickness. Flip the dough onto a pizza pan (with dough side down) and gently pull off the waxed paper. Use the same waxed paper to roll out the second dough ball.
• Bake the crusts for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Top the crusts with your favorite toppings, like tomato sauce, veggies, vegan meats, and vegan cheese.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them after about 10 minutes to ensure the crust doesn't burn.
• When the crust is golden brown, remove it from the oven. Allow the pizzas to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour mix, yeast, psyllium, and salt. Pour this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Finishing the dough: With the stand mixer running on low, add the olive oil, then the egg. Slowly, pour in the water. Here's the important part: gluten-free pizza dough will not look the same as gluten dough. It will be far wetter, even a little like pancake batter. As you pour the water, look for the dough to come together around the paddle. However, when your turn off the mixer, the dough should slump off the paddle immediately.
• Letting the dough rise: Scrape the pizza dough into a large greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and set the bowl in a warm place. Gluten-free dough does not rise as much as gluten dough. Instead, you are looking for the dough to hydrate fully and increase in size by about one-third. When the dough has risen a bit and has the texture of traditional dough, about 1 1/2 hours, you're ready to bake.
• Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone - and we recommend you do - put it in the oven now.
• If you own a pizza peel, lay down a piece of parchment paper on it now. If you don't own one, put the parchment paper on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Put the dough down on the parchment paper then top it with another one the same size. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough slowly and evenly. You want a pizza dough about 12 inches in diameter. Take the top piece of parchment paper off the pizza dough.
• Sprinkle some olive oil over the top of the dough. Bake the dough in the oven until the edges are starting to brown and crisp and the top of the pizza is a little firm to the touch, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pull out the pizza dough and top with whatever toppings you desire.
• Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the tapioca flour, milk powder, xanthan gum, gelatin, Italian seasoning, vinegar, oil, salt, sugar and 2/3 cup brown rice flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining brown rice flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes., Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Add toppings of your choice. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and toppings are lightly browned and heated through.
