Servings 2 Batches

Ingredients
  

Step One

  • 1 1/2 Tsp Yeast
  • 1 Cup Warm (not hot) Water
  • 3/4 Tbs Sugar

Flours

  • 1 Cup Brown Rice Flour
  • 1 Cup Cassava Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Almond Flour NOT almond meal
  • 1/2 Cup Potato Starch
  • 1 Tsp Salt

Step Two

  • 2 Tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 Egg

Instructions
 

  • To start, add the water, yeast, and sugar into a small bowl. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, or until a foamy bubble situation happens at the top of the water.
  • While yeast is setting, whisk together the flours and salt.
  • Once yeast mixture is ready, add it to the bowl of flour with the egg and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until the dough holds together. The dough may be a little crumbly. While the dough is still in the bowl, use your hands to press it into a ball.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • This recipe yields two batches. Cut the dough in half with a knife and either use one half immediately, or save in the the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. The dough will keep in the fridge for about a week. DO NOT freeze.
  • When you're ready to make the pizza, roll out the dough onto an OILED metal pizza tray or baking tray. Do not skip the oil. The dough may be a little crumbly and may crack on the edges. This is normal. Use your hands to press the dough together into the shape you want.
  • When you're ready to cook the pizza, make sure the oven is PRE-HEATED to 425 degrees F. Bake the dough in the oven for 8 minutes exactly. Then, remove the pre-baked dough from the oven and add your toppings. Then bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the edges are browned.
  • Let the pizza cool for about 5-10 minutes. Then, cut into slices.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the pizza you see here, I used a pesto base with a bit of mozzarella and feta. You can use any toppings you'd like!
  • I tried to make the recipe instructions as detailed as possible. Please try to follow them exactly - I can't guarantee results otherwise!
  • Please DO NOT substitute any flours in this recipe. It will most likely not work with any other combination (believe me, I've tried!). 
  • I have not tested this recipe without the egg. With gluten-free baking, eggs are often crucial. A flax egg may work; however, I can't guarantee results.
