Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my favorite gluten free pizza mix so far. I prefer thinner crusts (almost the cracker crisp type crust), but I'll probably never achieve that with gluten free pizza. This is the closest thing I've found, however. I had to experiment a bit to get it right. This mix makes TWO pizzas, and I use a very large 14" pan (actually, closer to 16 inches when you include the edges, which curve upwards.) If you were using a much smaller pizza pan, you might get 3 pizzas out of the mix.
I do the mix exactly as per the instructions, let it rise the recommended 30 minutes, THEN I divide the dough into two equal parts. One part I usually save and refrigerate (in a bowl and topped tightly with either foil or saran wrap) and I've used it up to two or three days later with perfect results. Then the other half I'll use the day I make it, since I usually only want to do one at a time. After the dough has risen (it only seems to rise slightly) , I grease the pizza pan using Crisco...my preference, and I like the results better. I don't roll it out. Rather, I put the blob of dough in the center, and use my hands to punch it down and push it outwards around the pan, bit by bit. So my hands don't stick to the dough too much, I use a gluten free flour mix such as the Amy's baking mix on my hands as much as needed, so probably a bit of this will get worked in as I spread the dough out in the pan. The dough would be impossible to roll out in my opinion, or at least, I don't want to mess with it due to the relative stickiness of the dough. After the dough is all evenly spread thru the pan and with a bit of an edge, I poke some fork holes around the bottom here and there. Then I bake the bare crust for about 10 to 12 minutes in the oven at 425...it will be faintly starting to brown at this point. This pre-cooking is important for gluten free crusts! Remove from oven, let it cool about 5 minutes, then put on your desired toppings. With everything on, it goes back into the oven for less than 10 minutes...just to heat everything up and melt the cheese, basically. The crust will brown a bit more in the process.
Even done in such a large pan, the crust isn't as thin as you'd expect, but you avoid the soggy bottom so common to GF crusts. My whole family loves this pizza and the wheat eaters of the family don't really notice or care about the difference in the crust. The taste is quite nice, it has that usual yeast flavor of a wheat crust, and there are no weird rice flour tastes at all. If anything, it's somewhat bland, but that's probably a good thing for a gluten free crust.
