This is a no rise gluten free pizza recipe perfect for those unhealthy cravings when you should probably have something slightly more nutritious – i.e. instead of a take away. The combination of flours gives the base a great flavour and high in fibre means it will make you feel fuller for longer.
This recipe makes enough dough for one 11″ pizza, just multiply it if you want to make more.
Ingredients:
For the pizza base
- 5 grams of yeast + 3 grams of sugar (optional – added for flavour)
- 100 grams of warm water
- 80 grams of self raising flour
- 40 grams of Teff flour – available at most health food stores
- 1/4 teaspoon of table salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum
- Gram flour or plain flour to roll out the dough.
To top
- 50 grams of hot water
- 1/2 a vegetable stock cube
- 35 grams of tomato puree
- Herbs – I used Waitrose Italian frozen herb mix
- Cheese – I used pizza mozzarella but any cheese you fancy will do.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200C
- Place the yeast, water and sugar in a cup and leave for a minute while you weigh out the flours, salt and xanthan gum into a small bowl.
- Mix the yeasty water with the flour mix till it forms a thick paste then flour your hands and the baking tray. I used a stone pizza tray because I seem to love stoneware at the moment and I found it at an outlet the other day for just £4.
- Get the mixture into a ball roughly in your hands first then press it out on the tray until thin before placing it in the oven to part cook for 5 minutes.
- In the 5 minutes, make the tomato sauce by breaking up the stock cube in the hot water then stirring in the tomato puree.
- Remove the pizza base from the oven and spread over the tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese and herbs then place back in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!
I am currently trying to update my blog using another website to make it more mobile friendly so I will keep you up to date when I move everything over.
