gluten-free pizza

I developed this recipe because I enjoy pizza and can't eat gluten. I hope you like it if you're into this kind of thing.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA

 

2 teaspoons dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

3/4 cup lukewarm water

---------------------------------

2 eggs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vinegar

1/3 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour [sometimes called arrowroot or tapioca starch or powder]

--------------------------------

enough amaranth flour to make a stiff batter

--------------------------------

1. In a cup or small bowl, mix first 3 ingredients. Leave for 10 minutes or so till foamy.
2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix next 5 ingredients.
3. Add the yeast mixture to the large bowl and stir everything together well.
4. Gradually add amaranth flour, stirring well after each addition. You want a stiff dough, but not so stiff that you can't stir it with a large spoon.
5. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for an hour or more.
6. Oil a cookie sheet or similar pan. Turn the dough out onto it.
7. Press the dough down as flat as you can without breaking it, forming a circular or oval shape with a slightly built-up edge. If necessary, sprinkle amaranth flour over the dough to make it easier to flatten.
8. Add whatever toppings you want. Example: tomato sauce, herbs, sliced peppers, olives, mushrooms, onion, sausage. Finish with mozzarella cheese on top unless you want it dairy-free.
9. Bake at 430˚F / 220˚C till done, about half an hour.
