Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 grams flaxseed meal (about 1 tablespoon)
500 grams gluten-free flour blend about 4 cups, purchased or homemade (see recipe)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
15 grams active-dry yeast (about 4 teaspoons)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
Cornmeal for dusting
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced paper-thin
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1/3 cup roughly chopped olives
1/2 pound regular or buffalo mozzarella, sliced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Crushed red chile flakes to taste
Flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Pour 2 tablespoons boiling-hot water over flaxseed. Whisk quickly until you have a thick paste. Cool.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt.
  • In a separate small bowl, gently stir together the yeast and olive oil with 1/2 cup warm water. Let it rest a few minutes to activate the yeast.
  • Add the flaxseed to the dry ingredients and mix for 10 seconds. Pour the yeast-oil-water mixture into the dry ingredients. With the mixer on medium, mix for a few moments, until the dough comes together into a soft ball around the paddle and feels soft and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more warm water in small amounts until the dough feels soft and pliable. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450 degrees, with a rack in the upper third. If you have a pizza stone, put it on the rack and let it heat. If not, sprinkle a pizza tray or baking sheet with gluten-free cornmeal.
  • Divide the dough in half. Roll out each piece between two pieces of parchment paper into 1/4-inch thick rounds. (Put one in the refrigerator while baking the first.) Remove the top parchment layer, and gently flip the dough onto the pizza stone or baking tray. Remove the other piece of parchment paper. Crimp the edge if you like. Brush the top with olive oil.
  • Bake until the dough has started to crisp up and brown at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and add half the garlic slices, grape tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, parmesan and chile flakes. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Drizzle with more oil and, if you like, flaky salt.
  • Repeat with remaining dough and toppings.

The pizza was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices and herbs next time.

I found that the almond flour crust was a bit too dry for my taste. Next time, I'll try adding a little bit of olive oil to the dough.

This pizza is a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional pizza, as it's made with almond flour and whole wheat flour.
