(Makes 1 large 16 inch pizza)

¼ cup Garfava Flour

¾ cups white rice flour (Authentic Foods)

½ cup tapioca flour

1½ teaspoons xanthan gum

¾ teaspoons salt

¾ cups lukewarm water

1½ teaspoons rapid-rise yeast

2 egg whites slightly beaten

½ teaspoon vinegar

1-tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon oil

Add sugar and yeast to lukewarm water and set aside in a warm place to foam (approximately 5 minutes). Using two medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients in one and the liquids in another. Then combine both the dry and the liquid ingredients and mix at high speed for three minutes. Pour and spread the batter on top of a large non-stick pizza pan and let it rise for 20 to 25 minutes in a warm area. When finished rising, place the batter crust in a preheated 400 oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dough has shrunk slightly away from the side of the pan and can be easily removed form the bottom of the pan. Remove the dough from the pizza pan and let it cool on a wire rack. When cooled, add pizza toppings and bake at 450 for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
