Buckwheat Flour Pizza Base
Easy to make gluten free pizza base with buckwheat flour. This pizza base is naturally gluten free and also dairy free and suitable for vegan diet. It goes well with any of your favourite toppings - choose vegan toppings to keep the pizza vegan.
Ingredients
- 250 grams buckwheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xantan gum
- 150 ml water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sunflower oil
Instructions
- First off all, pre heat your oven to 180 C or 350 F.
- Mix together all the dry ingredients first (flour, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum) and add the wet ingredients (water and oil). Add more water to form the flour into a soft dough.
- Oil a baking sheet (or use a heavy baking tray or pizza baking sheet).
- Roll out the dough lightly (from the middle to the sides) and finish creating the shape you need by gently pulling the dough from the middle to the sides.
- Place in the middle shelf and bake for about 5-7 minutes. This is only, so that the pizza base is par-baked and holds the toppings well.
- Take the buckwheat pizza based from the oven and add your toppings. (see my recipe notes for suggestions). Tomato puree topped with mozarella cheese and basil leaves work great with this recipe.
- Put back to the oven and bake for further 10-15 minutes or until everything is cooked through and the crust is lightly brown and crispy looking.
- Serve straightaway with side salad or on it's own.
