¼ cup potato flour
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup Gluten free flourDirections:So we'll begin by Pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease up a pizza pan, (or cookie sheet) with some cooking spray.
Grab a medium-sized bowl, and add all your dry ingredients into it. Whisk it together well, you want to make sure there are no clumps of anything, especially your baking powder.
Get a large measuring cup, (I use only Glass) and whisk together your eggs, oil and milk. Make a note of exactly how much liquid there is, because you'll need one cup of total liquid. If you come up short then you can just add extra milk.
Slowly pour your wet ingredient mixture into your dry bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir together until it's well mixed.
Set the dough in a pan, and work it with your hands so that everything spreads evenly onto the bottom. Grab a brush and brush your dough with olive oil. Throw on all the ingredients your heart desires.
Place onto the top rack of your oven, and leave until your dough is crispy golden in color, and cheese is melted. This usually takes around 30 minutes, sometimes less depending on the oven your using.
