Pizza (Gluten-free Oat Crust)

Total Time: 45

Servings: 14" pizza

Ingredients

For crust:

1 cup water warm, 100 - 110°F (250 ml)
2 tsp honey (10 ml)
1 package active dry yeast not instant
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (30 ml)
3 cups oat flour (750 ml)
1 tsp salt (5 ml)

For pizza:

1 cup pizza sauce store-bought or homemade (250 ml)
3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded (750 ml)

Instructions

To make dough:

In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, stir together warm water, honey and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until fully dissolved. Stir in olive oil.
Measure 3 cups of oat flour into a large bowl (you should have extra for dusting). Add salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture. Stir to combine. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Use additional oat flour on your hands to keep dough from sticking.
Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rest while oven preheats and you prepare your toppings.

To make pizza:

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Press dough thinly into a non-stick (or well-oiled) 14” pizza pan.
Add sauce, your favorite toppings and cheese (or sauce, cheese and toppings)
Bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is baked and cheese is bubbling.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Notes

For pizza:

Your favorite toppings (sliced pepperoni or ham, cooked bacon, grilled chicken, sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, sliced green or black olives, pineapple tidbits, sliced red onion, artichoke hearts, etc.)
