Okay every GF pizza crust I've ever made does not taste, look, or feel like this.

Yay! The Giant Food Store near me sells GF King Author All purpose flour! I walked there today and saw a surprise near the yeast. It made me go :D and :3. Anyway, I really like the blend, if you can't get it I posted in my OMG BREAD post how to make it by yourself. It's only $5.00 near me, but it's like.. four cups  per box. They need to make bigger bags. It's what I used in this, you don't need much to make it, nothing hard to find like Teff flour or some crap. Anyway on to this!

Get out this stuffs to make nomnomnom:
3/4 cup GF AP Flour.
3/4 cup Tapioca flour
1 packet (1tbs+1tsp) unflavored gelatin
1 packet of yeast
3tsp xanthan gum
1tsp sugar
2tsp olive oil
1 1/2tsp Cider Vinegar
1/2 warm water
Should I call the Doctor about the crack in my wall? I'm getting worried.

 Okay add all the dry stuff together in a bowl and mix well, blah, blah, blah. After that put in the olive oil, and cider vinegar. Gradually mix in the warm water with everything. The stand mixer I use (from the 70's) so did not like so I stopped and mixed it by hand.




Yay! It's ACTUAL PIZZA DOUGH!
Scrape the sides and form it into a ball. Next, lay wax paper down on a surface. I used the pizza pan it's self. Put a heavy amount of flour down on it. I used tapioca flour. Just, if you do roll it out on the pizza pan make sure to not leave the flour on it, or the wax paper on it. It will smoke. This is where I say sorry to the people I live with for making something in the kitchen smoke at least once a week. I am sorry. Anyway, roll out how ever thin or thick you want it. Make sure it's not sticking on the bottom or to the pin. I didn't even use a rolling pin. I used a roll if cling wrap, lol. It didn't stick at all. Then once it's rolled out cook in a cooking machine for 7-14 minutes or until it's done at 400 degrees (F).


Uncooked

Cooked!

Nomnomonom!

I uh, forgot the pizza sauce, but it tasted awesome as a white pizza anyway! :D

Gluten Free thick crust pizza! :D

I've still been trying to work to making a good near gluten tasting pizza crust with out hurting my belly. I really like what I did with this today. I really was unsure so if some things sound odd I was getting ideas as they came. Also; Hello Reddit! <3

Men, women, to your stations: 
2/3cup brown rice flour
2/3cup white rice flour
2cups tapioca starch
1cup flax seed meal
1/2cup buckwheat flour
1/4cup millet flour(+1/3cup for later)
1/4cup cornstarch
1/2tsp potato starch
1 packet (2tbs) dry active yeast
3tsp xanthan gum
1tsp salt
2tbs sugar
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cup warm water
3tbs olive oil
You know, this stuff.

And, if you're like me.. you spent 15 minutes blowing 
your ear drums out.

Next add in all of the dry ingredients, except the 1/3cup of millet flour. That doesn't mean to not add the 1/4cup of it though! Make sure everything is blended well, the flax makes it sorta hard at first.



Next, put your egg whites in a separate bowl. Then, get your cup of warm water(1 1/2cup) and mix in 3tbs of olive oil. Add in the oil-water mix, then add in a little bit of the egg whites at a time and mix well. If your mixture is too wet looking (like mine was, it didn't look right to me) add in 1/3cup of millet flour little by little (you might use less or more) until you think, or it looks like it has the right texture.



Next, cut your dough in half and put half on a well greased pizza pan. Put olive oil on your hands and the dough, spread out, then gradually add in the rest of the dough for a thick crust like mine. Or only use half and save the other for more pizza or make a second one at the same time.

The dough does not taste like salty milk and coins.*


Let that sit for about 20 minutes while you preheat the stove to 400 degrees(F). After that bake it for about 9 minutes. Take out, put on toppings, put back in for another 3-6 minutes for toppings to bake. Then go OMNOMOMNOM.


Like I said: OMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Pizza! Pizza that's gluten free! It's short to make and super nom!

Pizza. I had the automatic urge to eat pizza the day I had to stop eating gluten, so today I made some. It only took roughly an hour because I was low on gluten free flour and had no yeast, so I cheated and used Gluten Free Bisquick. So lets get started :)

What you need:
1 1/2 cup of Bisquick
1/3 cup soy flour
1/2 cup oil
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup mozzarella
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp sugar

Okay! Lets start!
Preheat your cooking machine to 450F. Add together the Bisquick, flour, basil, and sugar. Mix well! Crack the eggs in a separate small bowl and beat them together, then add them to the dry mix. Add the water and oil too then mix well. Pretty much.......
Take out this stuff.

Make the cooking machine hot!

When you mix it together it looks like this

Then after you mix it more it should look like this.
After it gets to look like the above, spread it out on a greased pizza pan. I found using this utensil below makes it easier to spread. (I do not actually know the name of it so, I'm calling it the cake-icingthing-spatula.)
This thing!
So after you do that stick it in your cooking machine for 15 minutes.

COOKING MACHINE.
While this was cooking I decided to prep my other ingredients..
It didn't work out that well you see.. NEVER EVER buy a Pampered Chef can opener. It CUTS below the place where normal ones do.
The devil of can-openers. 
Lucky for me this was in the fridge. 
Anyway, now that your crust is done take it out. It will look cracked but that's okay. Now add your stuffs.
Chop up your stuff, or whatever you're using.

What the crust looks like.

Add about this much sauce!

Cheese!

Toppings!
Stick it back in the oven for about 8 minutes.
 
If you want you can open your cooking machine and add more cheese!
Take out and enjoy! It tastes awesome!
