GF Pizza Crust

When my son first had to go GF we knew we would have to find a pizza dough that would suffice.  We also went egg free at that time.  Today is a bit of a differnent story.  He is Wheat free with an EpiPen and Eggs are one of his favorite foods.  That is a different story…watch for “Chips N Cheese” he went from 7 to 37 known allergies.  Pizza is still his favorite and we have changed the recipe 3 times.

The Basic

1.5 Tablespoons of Yeast

1.5 Cups of warm water

2 Tablespoons of oil

4 cups flour

1 teaspoon of salt

Gluten Free Pizza Dough

1.5 Tablespoons of Yeast

2.0 Cups of warm water

2 Tablespoons of oil

2 scoops (approx. 7 Tablespoons of ground flax seed)

3.5 Cups of GF flour

1 Table spoon sugar (optional)

1 teaspoon salt

Place yeast in mixing bowl add warm water.  Add oil, sugar, and flax let stand a few minutes.  Mix in flour and salt.  For original recipe you can kneed the dough (I have not done this in 5 years so google it).  For Gluten Free I have been mixing it thoroughly letting it sit for 5-10 min and mixing it again then let it rise for 30-60 min.  I prebake the GF for 8-10 min at 425°F till it lightly crusts then pull out and top with sauce and desired toppings and bake for an additional 8-10 mins depending on your tastes.
