Recipe: Gluten Free Pizza
Gluten free pizza that’s easy and good. I did make one little mistake, but with my tips, you’ll make a delicious GF pizza!
First off, I don’t suggest using gluten free all purpose flour – it’s not that it’s not good, but it’s that it could be better. There are different blends (like rice flour, or potato flour, even corn flour) that are better used in baking, pancakes versus bread or pizza crust. It’s a bit of trial and error, but as long as you’re patient, you’ll be good.
Okay, back to this recipe.
Ingredients
- Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Curst Mix (1/2 the bag)
- 1/2 the ingredients to make the crust
- 2 tomatoes
- about 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon of oregano
- 200-300g of cheese
First, let’s mix up the dough. In order to ensure I was using half, I weighted it out – better to be accurate than have the crust not turn out well.
Mix everything up according to the directions. Also, be sure to use half of the yeast packet if you’re halving the recipe like I did.
When it comes to spreading out the crust, wet hands work best. This is where I messed up a bit – I made the curst far too thick. It ended up still being good, but it would have been way, way better if it were a little thiner and not as chewy (in my opinion)…but if you like chewy crust, then make it thick! That’s my tip.
Time for the sauce. This sauce is simple and easy – and it’s a great compliment to a plain cheese pizza.
Get out the tomatoes, garlic cloves, olive oil, and the oregano. Oh, and your food processor.
I love my food processor. So amazing.
Here, I’m using the baby bowl (because I’m not making 14 cups of pizza sauce) since I’m just making enough sauce for this recipe.
Use the food processor to break down the tomatoes – about 1 minute on high. Then add in the olive oil, garlic, and oregano. Once it’s done, put it in a pan and heat for about 10 minutes. It’ll start to thicken.
Now, time to top the half cooked crust – cook the crust according to Bob.
Top with cheese and anything else you might want…for me, it’s just cheese. Like Kevin McAllister. 100% just cheese.
That’s it.
Done.
Cut it up and eat it hot.
So good.
I’ll be sure to add an update the next time I make this…and cook the curst a bit thinner.
