Pizza Crust

I love pizza!! Gluten free pizza mix can be expensive and to be honest, some of them aren't very good, even though I've just paid $4-$5 for it. This recipe tastes great. It has a crunchy bottom but soft dough between the bottom crust and toppings. I will just forewarn that the bottom is pretty crunchy though and that some might find too chewy. It holds together nicely though and is easy to pick up and eat unlike some gluten free crusts. As leftovers it was less crunchy and was perfect in my opinion.

Pizza Crust
Yield: 1 - 10 x 15 inch pan crust

1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup millet flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1/4 cup sorghum flour
1 3/4 cup white rice flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
2 Ener-G eggs (1 tablespoon Ener-G egg powder plus 1/4 cup water)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 cups warm water
1 package or 2 1/4 teaspoon yeast

Directions: In a small bowl, mix Ener-G egg replacer powder and water and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, mix the tapioca starch, potato starch, millet flour, corn flour, sorghum flour, white rice flour, xanthan gum, and salt. In a large mixing bowl or Kitchen Aid mixer, place the warm water and yeast and mix well. Then add the Ener-G "eggs", dry mixture, and olive oil. Generously dust a surface with gluten free flour. Roll the dough out, frequently sprinkling flour over the dough until it's large enough to fit the pan. It may be difficult to transfer and you may need to transfer it to the pan in two pieces. Lightly grease the pan and sprinkle some corn meal across the bottom of the pan if desired. Then place the rolled out dough into the pan and press it against the edges. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.
