Equipment

  • 1 kitchen scale
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 baking pan

Ingredients

Doses for a 11 inch / 30 cm baking sheet

  • 150 grams (1 CUP + 2 tbsp) gluten free brown rice flour
  • 50 grams (⅓ CUP) gluten free white rice flour
  • 50 grams (⅓ CUP) gluten free potato starch (or othe gluten free starch)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (can be replaced with 1 teaspoon cream of tartar + ½ teaspoon baking soda)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for greasing the baking sheet and brushing the crust edge
  • 150 grams (¾ CUP) water

Instructions

  • Have your sauce and toppings of choice ready, like sliced cheese, sliced veggies, tomatoes, etc.
  • Pre-heat the oven at 350 F / 180 C
  • In a bowl mix well all the dry ingredients: rice flours, starch, salt, baking powder
  • Add oil and water and mix well with a spoon until you get big "crumbs"
  • Then work the dough with your hands, squeezing all the ingredients together, then knead the dough and form a dough ball.
  • Either cover your baking pan with a piece of parchement paper or generously grease it with some olive oil
  • Place the dough onto the pan and spread it with your hands up to the pan edges
  • Right before going into the oven, cover the pizza base with tomato sauce and/or all the toppings you want (DO NOT do this earlier, or the pizza base will absorb the liquids, will get soggy and won't bake properly)
  • For a golden-brown crust, brush the edges with olive oil
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes (check the crust both under and the borders, making sure they get brown-ish but don't burn) and enjoy!

Notes

Please note that measurements in cups may be slightly different from the ones in grams, due also to the difference in texture/grinding of naturally-gluten free flours. Which is why the use of a kitchen scale is advised, for a correct outcome of the recipe.
