“Necessity is the master of all invention”

This motto often comes to mind when cooking in the world of social distancing. I am actively trying not to go to the grocery store more than once a week which requires me to be inventive in the kitchen at times. A have been working on my sourdough starter which requires a lot of all purpose flour. In an attempt to use my all purpose flour sparingly, I decided to make a pizza dough from a mixture of gluten-free flour and all-purpose flour. The result was a light and crispy low carb pizza made with gluten free and all purpose flour.

The result is a sturdier crust than one that would have been made only with gluten free flour. Additionally, the crust is light with a slight chew and bite. A great option when you have different flours to play around with and want to experiment with home made pizza dough.

What is gluten free flour?

Gluten-free flour can be bought from the store and will be a blend of various gluten-free gains. I enjoy Bob’s Red Mill which is made from a blend of sweet rice and brown rice flour, potato starch, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, and xanthan gum. The blend works wonderfully in recipes with added leavening agents such as active yeast.

How can the dough be stored?

After the rest stage, cut the dough into 6 portions. Place the portioned dough in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months in air tight containers.

What is a Pizza Stone?

Pizza stones are made from clay or stone and are a great tool for making homemade pizzas or flatbreads. A pizza stone is a great way to achieve a crispy crust as the stone absorbs moisture out of your dough while the dough bakes.

I used a pizza stone, but you can make this recipe on a regular baking sheet or cast iron skillet.
