Best Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Pizza Ever!
Stunning gluten- and dairy-free pizza with a gorgeous light crust. A massive treat.
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!
