Tomorrow we are hosting a birthday party for my daughter who turned 3 yesterday - so today I am spending the day some gluten free pizza bites for her guests.
Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
* 2 tbsp. olive oil
* 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
* 3 egg whites
* 1/2 cup plain yogurt
* 1 1/4 cups cornstarch
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 3/4 tsp garlic salt
* 1 1/4 tsp guar gum
* 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Prepare baking sheets covering with parchment paper and spray oil.
3. Combine the oil and sugar in a bowl - add the egg whites and beat until very frothy.
4. Add the remaining ingredients - mix well. The dough will seem quite thin at first but keep beating until thickened. let sit for 10 minutes.
5. Grab approx 1/4c (just use your hand though) of dough and place on prepared baking sheet. With wet fingertips, press the dough to approx 1/4-inch circle (like a mini pizza crust).
6. Add sauce and mozzarella cheese (and other toppings you want - but keep in mind they wont hold that much)
7. Carefully fold each one in half - sealing the ends
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
These cook up nice and fluffy and taste great. You can use the same recipe for regular pizza crust by pressing the dough onto a pizza pan. To freeze: bake up the crust with no topping and freeze - let defrost - add toppings and cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Try this out and you will not be disappointed. Let me know what you think at http://accustomedchaos.blogspot.com/
