Pizza Pizza!

One thing I miss most with eating gluten-free is PIZZA.  I have a pizza crust recipe I use for homemade pizza, I got it from this great cook book Wheat-free Recipes and Menus by Carol Fenster. I recommend owning this one. (How's that Carol? A little free advertising!)
I this recipe does classify under my goal to post recipes without fancy ingredients, but it is worth it. I've never owned guar gum, but I bet it could really add to this, and I've only used the unflavored gelatin powder once (I keep forgetting where I put it!) I just substitute for more xanthan gum and corn starch.

The following is not her exact recipe, it is slightly altered.  I found that when you make a crust out of rice is lacks a lot of flavor.  Of course pizza isn't the healthiest thing to eat,  but I have found that most Americans feel the need to have pizza at least once in a while!!

1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
2/3 cup brown rice flour or garbanzo/fava bean flour
1/3 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder or nondairy milk powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon guar gum (if I don't have guar gum than I use more xantan gum)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
1/4 cup Italian seasoning
2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Pizza sauce
Pizza toppings

1. Preheat ove at 425 degrees F. Spray a non-stick 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray, or butter and flour (with rice or other kind of flour) a 12-in pizza stone.

2. Using a mixer with regular beaters and a medium bowl, blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan & guar gums, salt, gelatin, and Italian seasoning on low speed. Add the water, sugar, oil, and vinegar.  Beat on high speed for 1 minute. (if the beaters are bouncing around the dough is too thick.  Add water if necessary, 1 Tablespoon at a time. )  The dough should not be like regular pizza dough, it should be very soft.

3. Place dough on the pizza pan. Liberally cover dough with flour (rice or other) , and press the dough into the pan with hands not rolling pin.  Make the edge thicker.
4. Bake for 10 min. and remove from oven.
5. Put sauce on, then toppings.  Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly brown.

You may also use a bread machine on the dough cycle.  Just  put in the wet ingredients in first and the yeast last.
