I’m doing a demo this week & the host requested a gluten free pizza. I hadn’t made one before & upon research, found Quirky Jo’s recipe to have many positive comments. Here is the recipe & the base I made. Makes 4 thin bases.
Ingredients:
20g chia seeds
20g warm water
120g basmati rice, raw
120g brown rice, raw
80g millet, raw,
40g dry chickpeas
140g arrowroot flour
40g mixed seeds (linseeds, pepitas, sunflower seeds)
1 sachet dry yeast (or 2 tsp dry yeast)
2 tsp salt
380g warm water
20g apple cider vinegar
60g olive oil
Method:
1) Pre heat oven to 220 degrees
2) Mix chia seeds in 20g warm water & leave to soak for a few minutes.
3) Place rice, millet & chickpeas in TM bowl & mill for 1 minute/speed 9
4) Add arrowroot flour, mixed seeds, dry yeast & salt. Mix 10 seconds/speed 6
5) Add 380g warm water, vinegar, oil & soaked chia seeds. Mix for 15 seconds/speed 6.
6) Divide mixture between 4 pizza trays lined with baking paper. The mixture is like a batter & needs to be spread into shape with a spatula.
7) Par bake pizza base for 10 minutes, until the top has formed a crust. Spread pizza toppings over pizza & bake for a further 15 minutes (25 minutes in total).
Notes:
This batter doesn’t freeze well, like regular pizza dough. If you don’t want all the bases, bake the rest & freeze. I’ve frozen mine to have with soups.
Awesome recipe Car, I love that you’ve added seeds to this recipe. Can’t wait to make it this week!
Thanks Lauren! It really surprised me how easy it was to make & tastes great. The texture is nice too, not crumbly like some GF pizzas.
