Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water (about 95°F)
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon fast-acting dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1 cup sweet white sorghum flour
  • 3/4 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup garbanzo and fava flour
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour
  • 1/2 cup potato starch flour
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon guar gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray (without flour)

Toppings

  • 1 can (15 oz) gluten free pizza sauce
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into thin slices
  • 1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh basil leaves
  • 2 cups gluten free shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 2 (12-inch) pizza pans with cooking spray (without flour). In small bowl, stir warm water, gelatin, yeast, oil, honey and vinegar until yeast is dissolved; set aside.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mix flours, xanthan gum, guar gum and salt. Add yeast mixture; beat with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute.
  • 3
    Divide dough in half. Spread half of dough in each pizza pan. Lightly spray dough with cooking spray (without flour); cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place (80°F to 85°F) until doubled in height, about 45 minutes.
  • 4
    Heat oven to 425°F. Uncover dough; bake 10 minutes or until surface is dry. Remove from oven. Spread pizza sauce over each crust; sprinkle with bell pepper, mushrooms, basil and cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until crust is browned and cheese is melted.

  • Prebaking the crust for 10 minutes before topping it gives it a great texture.
  • Garbanzo and fava flour, or garfava flour, is a mixture of garbanzo and fava beans. It can be substituted with soybean or white bean flour.
