here is a pizza crust recipe.

WHEAT-FREE AND GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST


This crispy pizza crust tastes so delicious that your guests won't know it's wheat and gluten-free. You can hold a slice in your hand and it won't crumble! You may also shape the dough into four individual pizzas.

1 tablespoon gluten-free dry yeast
2/3 cup brown rice flour or bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder or non-dairy milk powder*
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
2/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In medium bowl using regular beaters (not dough hooks), blend the yeast, flours, dry milk powder, xanthan gum, salt, gelatin powder, and Italian herb seasoning on low speed. Add warm water, sugar (or honey), olive oil, and vinegar. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. (If the mixer bounces around the bowl, the dough is too stiff. Add water if necessary, one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters.) The dough will resemble soft bread dough. (You may also mix in bread machine on dough setting.)

Put mixture into 12-inch pizza pan or on baking sheet (for thin, crispy crust), 11 x 7-inch pan (for deep dish version) that has been coated with cooking spray. Liberally sprinkle rice flour onto dough, then press dough into pan, continuing to sprinkle dough with flour to prevent sticking to your hands. Make edges thicker to contain the toppings. Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread pizza crust with your favorite sauce and toppings. Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until top is nicely browned.

Serves 6.

Fresh Apple Bread, Gluten Free

Serving Size : 1

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice flour
2 cups white rice flour
3 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon -- (1/4 to 1/2)
1 1/3 cups instant nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup raisins -- dark or light
1 package dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
2 TBSP. brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:
2 large eggs -- beaten
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup fresh apples -- finely diced
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine -- melted

Mix 1/4 cup of the 1/2 cup sugar with the diced apples and allow to sit for about 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The apples and the sugar will make a syrup. This mixtures now becomes part of the wet ingredients.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Mix all wet ingredients together. Place dry and wet ingredients into your bread machine in the order the manufacturer suggests. Note: If your machine has a designated time to add nuts and fruits, add raisins at that time. Note: The apples seem to work well, if dices are about the size of raisins. Slices of apples seem to stick to the sides of the baking container as they are kneaded. They don't incorporate into the dough. When baking the slices, they seem to all be on the edge of the bread and burn rapidly. Dicing seems to be the trick here. Use the fruit bread setting.

Sugar is the last dry ingredient added. Warm the water-gelatin mixture to 85 degrees in a microwave or on the stove top. Add to the machine with the remaining wet ingredients. The amount of water is based upon the degree of moisture desired in the finished loaf and type of flour used. There is no problem with overflowing of the loaf with 1 3/4 cups of water. Press start.

This is a wonderful, moist sandwich bread or foundation for other breads. It comes in four variations to accommodate different tastes. It can be made lactose free by using dry milk substitute instead of non-fat dry milk. This bread does not require premixing of ingredients. Sure-Jell from Kraft Foods, is pectin. It is normally used in making home jellies. The dough can be remove from the machine and used to make hamburger buns.
