Tomatoe Basil Pizza

Pizza Crust

Ingredients:
3/4 cup GF Flour Mix (see below)
3/4 cup Light Bean flour Mix
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1/2 teaspoon vinegar or dough enhancer
1 1/2 tablespoons brown or maple sugar
1 cup of barely warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (1 packet)

Spray a baking sheet or a 15 inch round pizza pan with vegetable oil spray. Preheat oven to 425.

In a small bowl, whisk together the two flour mixes, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a larger mixing bowl, place the oil, egg substitute, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar. Measure the water and add the rest of the sugar to it. Drop in the yeast to dissolve.

Beat the egg-oil mix slightly with a handheld mixer at low speed, adding the yeast water. Beat in half the flour. With a spoon, stir in the remaining flour and beat until smooth. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread with a spatula to a 12 1/2 circle, allowing the edges to stay slightly thicker. Spread on your pizza sauce and add the toppings. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

GF flour mix (can be stored in dry cupboard):

2 parts white rice flour
2/3 part potato starch flour
1/3 part tapioca flour

If you can't use vegetable oil (corn allergy) what kind of oil would you recommend to use?
