Gluten Free Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
  • Dough
  • 520g or 4 cups plain gluten free flour*
  • 2 tbs baking powder
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 750mL water
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Napoletana Sauce
  • 700g bottle tomato passata
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • Mozzarella cheese as desired
  • Basil to garnish
  • * I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 plain baking flour
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 200C. Line 4 x 30cm round pizza trays with baking paper.
  2. Add flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and xantham gum to a mixing bowl and blend for a few seconds to combine dry ingredients.
  3. Add oil and water and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes or in a Thermomix for 1 min/speed 6. Your dough will look like a thick cake batter, not a firm ball of dough.
  4. Divide batter amongst 4 pizza trays by placing a large dollop of batter in the centre of each tray. Using a spatula spread the batter in a circular motion until a thin round pizza base is formed.
  5. Pre-bake bases for 15 min until crisp. Remove bases from oven and cool. At this point you can store extra bases that you won’t be cooking in the fridge for a week or freezer for a month.
  6. Prepare the Napoletana sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl. Spread sauce over bases and sprinkle with mozzarella or your favourite toppings.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes in a 240C conventional or pizza oven. Garnish with basil to serve.
