Gluten Free Quinoa Pizza Dough

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup Kaniwa (baby quinoa)
  • 3 cups brown rice flour
  • 1 1/2 cups tapioca starch
  • 3/4 cup potato starch
  • 1 tbsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tbsp quick rise yeast
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl add the brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch and the xanthan gum.
  • Whisk well to combine.
  • This is the flour mixture used for pizza dough.
  • You will use about 3 1/2 cups in dough.
  • Keep extra mixture in a ziplock bag and add to it the next time you make pizza.
  • In another large bowl add warm water with the sugar.
  • Whisk to blend.
  • Add the canola oil, salt and yeast.
  • With a spatula mix in the egg and the cooked baby quinoa
  •  Add about 3 1/2 cups of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
  • Use about 2 Tbsp of the extra flour mixture and spread it on your counter.
  • Dump dough onto counter and start to work the dough with your hands.
  •  Adding a bit more flour if too sticky.
  • You do not want to add too much or the dough will be tough.
  • This recipe makes 2 large pizza shells.
  • If you’re only needing one, you can refrigerate dough for a couple of days.
  • Or better yet, pre-bake the other shell, freeze it, and you then have a pizza shell ready the next time you want pizza.
  • Place dough on a oiled glass bowl, cover with cloth and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • I use a pizza stone when I cook my pizzas. Heat up stone in oven til temp is at 450.
  • Remove stone from oven and working quickly (and carefully) dump dough onto stone and with flour or cornmeal, spread dough onto stone.
  • Bake in oven for 8 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and now you can add whatever toppings you want to the pizza shell.
