Gluten Free Night Shade Free Pizza IMPROVED!

I have been working on this recipe for a long time......
It is time to share. :)

Crust:

1 1/4 cups very warm water
with 1 TLB yeast
2 TLB sugar (optional)

Let sit for 5 minutes to begin rising.

In a mixing bowl, mix together:

1 1/2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp xantham gum
2 tsp salt
2 TLB sugar (optional)
1 TLB olive oil or grapeseed oil



Mix all ingredients well and then add yeast mixture.
Stir VERY well until all lumps are gone.

The batter will be thin.  Not too runny, but like a cake batter.
(If it is too runny, add a little extra brown rice flour.)

Pour into greased deep dish pizza pan sprinkled with corn meal

Let rise for about 30 minutes.

Place in 400º preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
Pizza crust will be firm but not browned.

Remove from oven.

For NIGHT SHADE FREE pizza:

You can use a wonderful Beet Sauce or Garlic Butter Sauce:
recipe following.

But for regular pizza, just add your sauce, toppings and then return to oven until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.


For Garlic Butter sauce:
1/3 cup butter melted.
Spread onto pizza crust
sprinkle with garlic and parsley
Then add toppings and cook until cheese is melted and crust
is golden brown.

For beet sauce:
1 small beet and 2 small carrots boiled until tender.
Remove skin from beet.
Place beet and carrots in blender or food processor
Add 3 TLB oil, garlic, salt pepper to taste, basil or oregano,
onion powder..... and any other spice you love.
Puree, and then add water to make it more sauce like.
Blend until just the right consistency.
Spread onto crust, add toppings and bake until  cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Enjoy!

Gluten Free-Night Shade Free- Dairy Free Pizza

Gluten Free- Night Shade Free- Dairy Free Pizza......

Is this possible????? YES!

A friend told me about a recipe for an alternative to tomato based pizza sauce.  I checked out the recipe, but didn't like how some of the ingredients were put together.
So experimentation began!
I came up with a pizza sauce that can be tweaked based upon spices to fit many different recipes.  My family  could not tell it wasn't tomato based.

I used 1 small beet, roasted and shredded.  1 small carrot shredded.  I sauteed the carrot in some olive oil until it was tender, and added the beet and all these spices.
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Basil
Salt
Pepper
(all to taste)
I put it all in a blender and blended it to death. :)  And added water for better consistency.... ( to make it more spreadable)

The Pizza dough is easy.....

1 1/3 cup hot water
a packet of yeast
1 tsp sugar
mix all together and let it sit.

Add.... 1 tsp xantham gum
to 2 cups of brown rice flour and 1 cup of tapioca flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 TLB sugar
Mix all together.... and knead until very well kneaded...
about 5 minutes by hand....
Roll in olive oil and cover to let sit and rise

Spread in well greased pizza pan.
bake at 400º for about 10 minutes.

After baking...
Add sauce, any toppings you like (that you can have)
and then add Rice Cheese.
I like the Mozarella rice cheese. It is very good.

Bake at 400º for about 20 minutes or until everything is nice, hot melted and the crust is duly browned. :)

I have not had pizza since last September because of a Night shade issue... ( no tomatoes, potatoes, or peppers of any kind ( except pepper corns)  no eggplant, or paprika)
This was so fun to have once again! :)
I really love experimenting!

If you try it, drop a line and let me know! :)
ENJOY!!!!!!
