I had to make a gluten free pizza for a relative so I adapted this one from the Leggos website. I didn’t taste it but was assured that it was good, and the person I made it for took the remaining dough home to try making her own pizza.

Quick Gluten free Pizza Dough

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups gluten free SR flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • ½ cup lactose free milk

Method

  1. Put the oil, egg and milk into a dish and mix lightly.
  2. Put the salt and 1 cup of the flour into the bowl of the mixer with a dough hook on. Mix then slowly add the liquid mix and mix for a while.
  3. Gradually add more flour until the dough comes away from the sides.
  4. Continue kneading for about 5 minutes, then remove dough onto a floured bench and knead lightly into a ball shape.

Making the pizza base

Now we have a fantastic dough, all that needs to be done is make it into bases – this is an art which I haven’t yet mastered, but some people can do beautiful things with my dough.

  1. On a floured board spread the dough using the side of your hand and rotating the dough as you go. When it is starting to spread lift it up and rotate, holding by the outer edges, let it fall into shape.
  2. When the desired shape and thickness is achieved, sprinkle some semolina on the upturned pizza tray (upside down!!) and place the dough on it. Don’t work it any more.
  3. Work fairly quickly adding the passata and topping and into the oven. If it gets soggy or worked at this point it becomes hard to remove and the dough suffers.
