Gluten Free pizza crust


So I really really wanted pizza but gluten free pizza. I expected this <------

But got this.......down below. In spite of its weird appearance the pizza was actually pretty good. Sort of like a nutty pizza casserole. My sister and I call it Jesus Pizza Loaf as it looks like an archaic form of pizza. Lol. The recipe was from the wheat belly cookbook. I give it 3.75 stars as the crust did fall apart upon cutting.

Pizza Crust 2

1/4 cup of warm water
1 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1 cup of garbanzo chickpea flour
1 cup of almond meal or flour (meal has slivers of almond skin and flour if more ground.
1/2 cup of ground golden flaxseeds
1 teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil

In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the water and yeast until the yeast dissolves. Let stand for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the garbanzo flour, almond flour, flaxseeds and mix well. Add the oil and stir. Add the yeast mixture and stir for five minutes or until the ingridents are combined to form a loose ball of dough. Cover the bowl with plastic and let sit for 1 hour.

preheat oven to 350.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the dough on the parchment paper and lay a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. Flatten with a rolling pin into a sricle that is roughly 10" in diameter/ Carefully remove the top layer of parchment papwer, Use a spoon or your hands to form a crust edge.

Bake for 20-25 minutes depending on desired crispness.
