Gluten-Free Mushroom and Ricotta Pizza image

For this vegetarian, gluten-free pizza (using our favorite potato-based dough), we used a couple of tricks: The cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes maximize flavor, and tossing the mushrooms with a little oil before baking gives them a boost while letting us cut down on fat.

Yield 2 pizzas (serves 4)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Gluten-Free Pizza Dough, recipe follows
Cooking spray
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper
4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 large all-purpose potatoes (about 14 ounces)
1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons agave syrup or honey
One 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
Kosher salt
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Set a pizza stone or baking sheet on an oven rack in the bottom-third position and preheat to 500 degrees F. Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and press each ball out into a thin 10-inch round. Put the baking sheet on the preheated stone and parbake until the dough just starts to brown on the bottom and edges, about 10 minutes for a softer crust or about 15 minutes for a crisper crust. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Combine the mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Toss the mushrooms, olive oil, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in another small bowl.
  • Dollop the cheese mixture evenly on the 2 pizza crusts and spread out, then divide the mushrooms between them. Bake the pizzas until the crust is golden brown and the cheese browns in some spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut each into 4 pieces and serve.
  • Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
  • Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
  • Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Form the dough into 2 or 4 balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

This pizza was a bit bland for my taste. The crust was also a bit too dry. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I've tried many gluten-free pizza recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is light and fluffy, and the toppings are flavorful and perfectly balanced.
