Gluten Free Pizza Dough

Recipe comes recommended from Rena. Orignally in Gourmet 11/2005.  Makes one 11-12" pizza.

1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp cornmeal
1 c gluten free flour recipe
1/2 c. millet flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 pkg fast acting yeast
3/4 c. plus 1 tbsp warm water (105-115F)


  1. Preheat oven to 425F, with rack at lowest position.  Lightly oil the pizza pan with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal.  
  2. Mix flour mix, millet flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl with electric mixer. Add water and 1 teaspoon oil and mix until just combined, scraping down the bowl occasionally.  Mixture will be thin and more like a batter.  Increase speed to high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Spoon batter into center of pan and use wet offset spatula to spread to edges of pan in a thin layer.
  4. Loosely cover pan with an oiled sheet of plastic and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 40 minutes.
  5. Bake crust until golden, about 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and put the toppings of your choice on it.  Bake until toppings are heated through, about 6 minutes.
