Finally! Pizza that folks with allergies can cheer about.
Makes about 1 pound dough (two 10- inch pies crust)
¾ cup tapioca f lour
¾ cup white ric e flour plus additi onal for dusting an d rolling
2 tablespoons qu inoa flour
½ cup arrowroo t flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon kosher sa lt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ cup rice milk
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons ex tra virgin olive oil
extra ric e flour for dusting a nd rolling
1. Put the flours, xanthan gum, salt and sugar into the Cuisinart® Stand
Mixer mixing bowl fitted with the dough hook. Mix on speed 3 to
combine. Stir the rice milk, water and olive oil together in a liquid
measuring cup.
2. With the stand mixer running on speed 3, slowly add the liquid
ingredients. Once a dough ball is formed, knead the dough for about 1
to 2 minutes between speed 4 and 5. Should dough seem dry add one
tablespoon of additional water at a time while mixing until the dough
ball is able to clean the sides of the bowl. Be sure the water is fully
incorporated before adding the next tablespoon (alternatively, should
the dough be too sticky add white rice flour 1 tablespoon at a time until
dough reaches a smooth consistency).
3. When ready to roll, dust a large surface with rice flour. Divide the dough
into 2 equal pieces. Roll dough out into about a 10-inch circle.
4. Liberally dust a pizza peel or the surface of an inverted sheet tray.
Transfer pizza dough to well-floured surface and add desired pizza
toppings before baking.
