Ingredients (for 4 large pizzas or 8 personal pizzas)

Whole Psyllium Husk 30g (1/4c 2 tbsp)
Dry Yeast (GF) 2 tsp
Sugar 2 tsp
Salt 2 tsp
Olive Oil 1 1/2tbsp

Flour Combo

Millet Flour 100g (2/3c 2 tbsp)
White Rice Flour 120g (3/4c)
Potato Flour (NOT Starch) 40g (1/4c)
Cornstarch 120g (3/4c)
Tapioca Starch 100g (2/3 c 2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Mix Psyllium Husk (fiber format) 30g (1/4c 2 tbsp) and Water 360ml (1 1/2c) in a small bowl and set aside for 5 min.

  2. Pour 120ml (1/2 c) of warm water at 30-45°C (90-120°F) into a small bowl. Add 2 tsp of sugar, and mix. Add 2 tsp of dry yeast to the bowl, stir and keep it for 5-10 min at a warm place. It will help the yeast-lings to activate and start growing. There should be bubbles on the top of the yeast after 5-10 min. If not, it’s not warm enough. Check video what I do.

  3. Combine the flour combo in a large bowl: Millet Flour 100g (2/3c 2 tbsp), White Rice Flour 120g (3/4c), Potato Flour (NOT Starch) 40g (1/4c), Cornstarch 120g (3/4c), Tapioca Starch 100g (2/3 c 2 tbsp).

  4. Add 2 tsp Salt to the Flour.

  5. Combine now the Flour, Psyllium Husk, and the yeast with a spatula and start kneading the dough. You may need to add more water to the dough (do 1 tbsp at a time) until the dough is sticky and forms a dough ball.

  6. Let the yeast dough rise for 2 hours at a warm place (90-120°F, 30-45°C ) or until it is double its original size.

  7. Knead the dough and add 1 1/2 tbsp of Olive Oil. That will add a nice flavour and makes sure the crust turns golden brown.

  8. Roll out the dough to .5cm or (1/4”) thickness for NYC style.

  9. Add your favourite toppings like pizza sauce, cheese….

  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 230-250°C (450-482°F).

  11. If available, bake in a cast iron pan for a much nicer crust. The cast-iron pan has to be preheated for 30 min at 230-250°C (450-482°F) before baking the pizza in the pan.
