A cross between a flatbread and a pizza crust, this recipe is easy to throw together and makes eating gluten-free super easy. With fresh ground flours and other fresh organic ingredients, I was able to delight my family with real pizza! Of course a gluten-free crust isn’t going to have the same texture at it’s wheat-filled counterparts, but this one is pretty tasty and very satisfying. It holds together firmly so you can hold a piece to eat, and if you bake it long enough to see a little brown, you’ll have a little crunch too! Adding your choice of toppings is really what makes your pizza truly your own delicious creation. On one side I did a pesto/tomato/mozzarella, and on the other just plain cheese for my son!
{This recipe has been adapted from Just Add Cloth’s Gluten-Free Pizza Crust}
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Grapeseed Oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Almond Meal
- 3/4 Cup Brown Rice Flour (Freshly Ground)
- 1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour (Freshly Ground)
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 375°F. Using a stand mixer, mix together the eggs, oil, water and garlic. Once combined, add the almond meal, flours and cheese.
2) Using a spatula, spread out the dough on a greased cookie dough sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper), or a pizza stone. I spread mine about 1/4 inch thin into a rectangular shape, although I probably could have gone a little thinner with this batch for an even crispier crust.
3) Partially bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, add desired toppings and put back in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
4) Allow to cool briefly, slice, and enjoy!

Grain Mill Wagon Challenge:
As my first experience owning and using a grain mill, I have to say that I'm blown away. The WonderMill Grain Mill is fantastic! It's easy to use, grinds beautifully and is really quite an effortless process. Prior to this challenge I knew at some point I would want to have a grain mill on my "wish list" and I'm thrilled that I have one NOW for several reasons.
First, this challenge has put me in the kitchen, front and center, cooking for my family far more often. I'm glad this is happening sooner rather than later! This challenge has pushed me to new heights in a fun way, and has shown me that I'm really capable of cooking and baking a lot more adventurously than I previously thought.
Secondly, this challenge has offered me the push to try gluten-free flours I've yet to use. Black bean flour? Tapioca flour? YES! New gluten-free ingredients such as these have really made it fun and more interesting in my kitchen!
Lastly, through this challenge I learned that I was probably buying rancid flours from store shelves before. I had no clue! The importance of using freshly ground flours never completely crossed my mind until this challenge. Fresh flours from our WonderMill Grain Mill makes a world of difference in taste, texture and outcome of my recipes!
Thank you WonderMill for challenging me to challenge myself. I'd say, "mission accomplished"!
