GF Pizza Crust
Sunday, January 25, 2009
Ingredients
3/4 cup warm milk (105-115°F)
1 Tablespoon sugar
2-1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups gf flour (what I use)
1 teaspoon Xantham Gum (if not in flour)
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Equipment:
Stand mixer with dough hook

Directions:
1. Combine milk, sugar, and yeast in Mixer bowl. Wait until yeast blooms. You'll know by the smell.

2. Add olive oil. Turn on mixer to low.

3. Add flour and salt.

4. Once flour is combined, increase speed to medium. As dough mixes it will stick to the hook. Stop mixing when it no longer sticks.

5. Spray a surface with oil and form dough into a pie shape.

6. Oil a cast iron pan with a Tablespoon of oil. (This the key to making it crispy)

7. Put dough into the pan and stretch to make a crust. Rest for about an hour.

8. Build your pizza and bake in a 450 F oven for 12 minutes.

The results are a crust that many non-celiacs love to eat and might remind your of pizza from most national chains.

If you do not have a favorite GF Flour blend, try this one.
