Vegan and Gluten Free Pizza Crust (makes 3-4 pizzas)
September 26, 2023
This is the same dough as Vegan and Gluten-Free Multi-Grain bread, just worked differently to make pizza crusts.
In a bowl, make your flax eggs:
- 4 tablespoons ground flax meal
- ½ cup warm (not hot) water
- Leave to soak 5 minutes.
- Whisk with a fork.
Place dry ingredients in a stainless-steel mixing bowl:
- ½ cup psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 cup millet flour
- 1 cup teff flour
- 1 cup sorghum flour
- 1 cup quinoa flour
Mix lightly on low speed.
Add wet ingredients to the mixer:
- Flax egg mixture
- ½ cup sunflower oil
- 3 ½ cups warm water
Mix until blended, it will be sticky and thick.
Oil 3 – 4 cast iron pizza pans (depending on size), then sprinkle a few tablespoons of millet flour on each.
Have ½ cup millet flour handy for working.
Divide the dough into rough balls and place it in the center of each of your pans.
Sprinkle a little millet flour on top of each dough ball.
One at a time, place a sheet of parchment paper (the size of your pan) on top of the dough ball. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough ball out into a circle, rolling from the center out toward the edges of the pan. As the dough ball rolls out, you may need to lift the parchment paper and sprinkle a little more millet flour to keep the dough workable. As you roll, create a small thicker crust edge around the edge of the pan.
Repeat for the remaining crusts.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (convection preferred if possible).
Cover with a clean cloth, place in a warm place away from drafts, let rise for 20 minutes.
Add your desired toppings. (Or, bake plain to freeze for later).
Bake 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, let sit in a warm place away from drafts for 5 minutes.
Cut into slices with kitchen scissors and enjoy.
