Pizza Crust
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 to 115F)
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar or granulated sugar
- 1 (1/4-ounce) packet rapid-rise yeast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups Gluten-Free Bread Flour Mix (page 158)
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Combine the warm water, agave nectar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (not bread hook).
- Use a wooden spoon or whisk to mix well.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and stir well.
- Make sure the yeast is completely dissolved.
- Whisk together the flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and mix well for about 1 minute, or until the dough is coming together.
- Sprinkle an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet, two 9-inch round pizza pans, or two 12-inch pizza pans with cornmeal.
- Flour a board well with flour mix.
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the dough to the board.
- Sprinkle a little flour mix on top of the dough, flour a rolling pin, and roll the dough out into a rectangle large enough to fit the baking sheet, or into two circles.
- Transfer the dough to the pan or pans (I use a large metal spatula to assist in this), pat the dough to the edges, and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, using a pastry brush.
- Cover with a light dish towel or plastic wrap (but dont wrap it tightly, or youll inhibit the rise) and let rise in a warm (85F) place free from drafts.
- I like to place it in an unheated oven with a pan of hot water placed on the bottom of the oven.
- If its a warm day, this wont be necessary.
- The top of the fridge is good, too.
- Let rise for 1 hour.
- Remove the pan of water from the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 500F (transfer the dough elsewhere if its rising in the oven).
- Flatten the center of the crust with the palm of your hand, leaving a raised edge around the perimeter.
- Top with whatever topping you like, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the topping has cooked.
- Let cool slightly before eating.
- This baby is hot!
