GLUTEN-FREE GRILLED FLATBREAD PIZZAS RECIPE BY TASTY



Gluten-Free Grilled Flatbread Pizzas Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: warm water, active dry yeast, large egg, olive oil, gluten-free flour blend, topping of your choice

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
2 large large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 ¼ cups gluten-free flour blend
topping of your choice

Steps:

  • Pour the water into a large bowl and add the yeast. Let sit for 2 minutes while the yeast activates. The mixture should become foamy and some of the yeast will sink in the water.
  • Add the eggs and oil. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add the gluten-free pizza dough mix and stir with a wooden spoon until well-combined.
  • Use a bowl scraper to divide the dough in half. Grease 2 medium bowls with olive oil. Place each dough half in a bowl and top with another drizzle of oil.
  • Toss the dough to evenly coat in oil, then cover the bowls with clean kitchen towels. Let rise for 20 minutes, until the dough has expanded, but not quite doubled in size.
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat.
  • Turn a dough portion onto a lightly floured pizza peel or other flat surface, like a cutting board or cookie sheet. Dust the dough with more flour and roll out into a 10-inch (25-cm) round, or whatever size will fit the pan you're working with.
  • Carefully slide the dough onto the grill pan. Grill each side for 6-8 minutes, until dark grill marks form. Remove from the heat. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Top with your desired toppings, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of flours. This will create a more flavorful and textured crust. Some good options include almond flour, coconut flour, and tapioca flour.
  • Don't overwork the dough. This will make it tough and chewy. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet. This will help to create a crispy crust. If you don't have either of these, you can also use a cast iron skillet.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and melted cheese. The ideal temperature is around 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings. Be creative and have fun! Some popular toppings include cheese, pepperoni, sausage, vegetables, and sauce.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free pizza crusts and flatbreads are a delicious and satisfying alternative to traditional wheat-based pizza. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own gluten-free pizza crust at home. Just follow the tips above and you'll be sure to end up with a delicious and crispy crust that's perfect for your favorite toppings.
