Gluten Free Pizza...

Oh how I love pizza and surely miss it since going gluten free...I have hesitated making it from scratch...I have been eating Garlic Jim's GF Pizza and it is great...I knew that anything homemade, even Gluten Free, is better that boughten...so today was the day to give it a try....oh so good!!! So much better than anything you can buy in a store...and you can customize it just for you!!!! Make it the way you like it....you will not be sorry, promise...

Pizza Crust
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp agar powder or Gelatin
3 tsp yeast
8 oz all purpose Gluten Free Flour
Place the salt, sugar, agar, and yeast in a bowl and add 3/4 cup warm water...whisk and let stand for 10 minutes...then add the flour mix and let stand for another 10 minutes....oil a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil...place the pizza dough on the pan and then put a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the dough and  spread the dough out with your hand to a 12 inch pizza shape...let stand for another 10 minutes. 
While you heat the oven up to 430 degrees, get your toppings ready...I chose pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, olives and mushrooms...you choose what you like...I spread  pizza sauce over the bottom...you could use an olive oil also....bake for 25minutes and then you have heaven on a plate!

the sponge, sugar, salt, yeast, agar and water...add the flour and stir...

wait 10 minutes and the let the party begin!...make the pizza the way you love pizza...for me it is pizza sauce....

then fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, olives and pepperoni...

25 minutes later and you have pizza!!! So Good!!!

the crust is thin and good, it does not have that 'slippery' feel that some GF bread products have...

this crust is a great vehicle for the toppings...

I so LOVE pizza, I topped this one off with fresh basil when it came out of the oven....it is so good...and as easy and fast as calling out for pizza delivery....go ahead and give it a try!!!!!!

Cheers to Happy  !!
