Traditional Gluten Free Pizza

"My love is pizza shaped. Won't you have a slice? It's circular, so there's enough to go around."
Dora J. Arod

Once a week our kitchen turns into a pizzeria. Our Mama makes homemade pizza all with individual toppings and requests. When we were young we used to order out for pizza, but after our tummies became sensitive, Supreme pizza with extra cheese was out of the question. Thankfully we have a creative Mama who is always trying new things, and is brave to try gluten free recipes for us : )

Just to clarify, we mostly bake with spelt flour, but occasionally go to gluten free flours. Our Mama has been completely gluten free for the past five months and has noticed big differences in her health and energy.

Pizza night is now back in our meal rotation and we are glad, so very glad! We are also grateful to have a Mama with endless pizza shaped love : )


























Traditional Gluten Free Pizza

You will need:

2 1/2 cups of gluten free flour blend* 
1/2 cup of millet flour
1 tbsp of xanthan gum
5 tsps of yeast
1 tsp of salt
1 1/4 cups of warm water
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of honey
1 tsp of apple cider vinegar
-toppings of your choice (our new favourite is using pesto instead of sauce)

1. Preheat oven to 425'F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with vegetable spray
2. Combine flour blend, millet flour, xanthan gum, yeast and salt in a mixer.
3. In a separate small bowl mix together warm water, olive oil, honey and cider vinegar. Add to dry ingredients and beat on medium high for 3-5 minutes. If dough is dry add more water, 1 tbsp at a time.
4. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll out in a 6 inch circle between 2 sheets of oiled plastic wrap.
Remove top layer of plastic wrap and place 2 crusts (dough side down) on baking sheet. Remove the last layer of plastic wrap and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool. Repeat with remaining crusts.
5. After crust is cool, add your toppings and bake again for 7 minutes at 425'F.
