this recipe was great for a wonderful thin-crust pizza! i baked it for 10 minutes before adding toppings and found that the edges got a nice crispiness by the end of the cook time. i made this pizza crust several times, substituting differing flours and coming up with a new result each time. if you sub the 3/4 cup gf flour for brown rice flour and the 1/4 cup tapioca starch for potato starch and let the yeast/sugar water combo set for about 5-7 minutes, you'll get a thicker, more pliable crust that i was able to mold the edges of into a lovely deep dish style crust.

This recipe is very good for a 'thin and crispy' pizza base. For a more doughy base try recipe #154155. For the yeast I put in 2 1/4 teasps. For metric cookers, I turned the FF oven to 200C and cooked the pizza base for 10 mins before adding the topping. I also added the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, instead of the other way around. It seemed to combine more easily this way. Altogether, a hit with ALL the family.

I used 1/2 cup rice flour and 1/2 cup garfava for the all purpose flour and light bean flour. I did not use any egg. I upped the oil to 1 tablespoon and just added added 1 tablespoon of water more. It came out thin and chewy. I liked it. I baked it for 10 min. then topped it. I don't like bready pizza so this was really good.

Escellent recipe! I used brown rice flour and garbanzo for the bean flour. I also baked the crust for about 12 minutes before adding toppings. I tried to work enough rice flour into the mix to make Calzones, but it just wouldn't stay together very well to make and fold the smaller circles. Will stick to the pizza use. I'm the only one in the family with gluten-free diet, but everyone else was VERY pleased with the results.
