Gluten-Free Cheese and Herb Pizza Crust

Description

Here’s a variation of a gluten-free pizza crust – I have found that baking it for 10 minutes before topping improves the texture.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup gluten-free all purpose baking flour
  • ¼ cup garbanzo bean flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 cup lukewarm water

  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
