Calories: 1276kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp baking powder (aluminium free)
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 10 g dried yeast
- 1.25 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Gluten free flour blend
- 320 grams white rice flour
- 120 grams tapioca flour
- 0.75 tsp xanthan gum
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C)
- In a small bowl, combine yeast and 3/4 cup warm water and 1 tbsp of sugar- make sure the water is not too hot as it will kill the yeast - Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate
- In a separate bowl, combine gluten free flour blend, salt, baking powder and remaining 2 tbsp sugar. Whisk until well combined
- Make a well in the dry mixture and add the yeast mixture. Add the olive oil and additional 1/2 cup warm water before stirring. Mix until combined well
- Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza stone with some oil and place your dough in the middle of the tray or stone and spread it out until you have a large pizza shaped circle, about 1/4 of an inch thick
- Put the pizza in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it begins to look dry. Cracks may appear, but that's normal. Remove from oven and spread generously with your favorite pizza sauce, ( we used the Waitrose Cook's sun dried tomato paste) dairy free cheese and any other topping you like. We used Violife dairy free "mozzarella" cheese
- Place back in oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crust edge looks golden brown and the toppings are warm and bubbly. Cut immediately and serve

THE SCIENCE BIT
In clinical practice over 85% of children with autism benefit from a gluten free diet. Behaviour improves, food choices increase, gut problems lessen and mostly disappear, sleep gets better, eye contact improves, language expands…..there isn’t a supplement on the planet that can do all that!
