I recently came across a gluten, yeast, wheat etc free pizza base mix in the local shop. Interesting experience. It sucked up loaaaaads of water and was the consistancy of Playdough, even when cooked. And it was white, which looked totally bizzare! :lol2:
This recipe is adapted from a scone-based pizza recipe and is a lot more palatable.
Ingredients
100g gluten free flour
50g almond flour ( ground almonds )
25 g butter
1 tsp gluten free baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
oregano
cold water for mixing
Method
1. Sift the gluten free flour with the baking powder, CoT and salt into a bowl. Add the almond flour and mix.
2. Cut the butter into pieces and rub into the flour mixture til it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add a good sprinkling of oregano and mix.
3. Using a knife to mix and form the dough. make a well in the centre of the crumbs, and form a small dough ball in the centre. Adding a little water at a time, roll the ball round the breadcrumb mixture til it has all been incorporated and you have a fairly stiff dough.
4. Knead the dough lightly til smooth then rest in the fridge for about an hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 180C.
6. Gently roll out your pizza base to the desired thickness.
7. Layer with your favourite toppings ( I had tomato, tuna, mushroom, green pepper and cheddar on mine! )
8. Cook for about 15 mins, til the topping looks golden brown.
