• Mix on low speed for 1 minute.
• Using an oiled spatula, transfer the gluten-free pizza dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Using oiled hands, spread dough into a 10-12-inch round.

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.

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 DOUGH

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Form the dough into two or four balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oven to 400 F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with gluten-free cornmeal.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour mix, tapioca flour, buttermilk powder, agar-agar. salt, xanthan gum, and yeast until thoroughly mixed.
• Add sugar, oil, and vinegar. Gradually add the water.
• Mix on high speed with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Scrape the thick dough onto a large clean surface liberally sprinkled with tapioca flour. Work enough tapioca flour into the dough so that it can be shaped into a large ball. The key to shaping this dough is to continue to sprinkle the work surface and the dough with tapioca flour.
• With a large knife, cut the dough in half to make two medium pizzas.
• With a rolling pin, shape each piece into a circle, making sure to sprinkle enough tapioca flour on the dough and the work surface to prevent it from sticking. Roll thin for New York-style pizzas or thick for Chicago deep-dish style.
• Carefully place one prepared pizza crust on baking sheet or pizza stone (see tips) sprinkled with cornmeal. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the dough is firm. This is called parbaking . Repeat with second pizza.
• Top pizzas with your favorite ingredients and bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until done. Or cool parbaked crusts, wrap and freeze for later use. Note: Always make sure your work surfaces, utensils, pans and tools are free of gluten. Always read product labels. Manufacturers can change product formulations without notice. When in doubt, do not buy or use a product before contacting the manufacturer for verification that the product is free of gluten. Edited by Stephanie Kirkos

• beat eggs, add cider vinegar, oil, and remaining 200 g water.
• add yeast, and then add dry mix.
• beat well for about 2 minute.
• grease pan (i like to use butter on a stone).
• dough will be more like batter in consistency.
• use hands to spread, sprinkling flour ontop of dough to prevent sticking.
• thinner crust will result in crispier crust.
• Cook crust at 425 for 20 minutes on a stone. For a regular metal sheet you'll have to play with it, but in my experience i would try 375 for same time. you want the crust to be slightly browned around the edges and bottom to prevent a "soggy" crust in final product.
• once crust is pre-cooked, top, bake until cheese is golden brown. cool & enjoy!
