      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Method:

  1. (Makes 2 soft medium crust bases or one thick pan style pizza base)

    Suitable for TM31 users as well...

    1. 1.  Preheat oven to 220 degrees, 200 degrees for fan forced ovens.
    2. 2.  In the TM mixing bowl add the ingredients for the starter and mix for 10secs /speed 3.
    3. 3. Set the timer for 7 mins/40degrees/ gentle stirring to activate the yeast.  The starter should double in size and become frothy during this time and will cover the bottom blades.
    4. 4.  Into a bowl, crack the eggs and make sure no shell is in the dish.
    5. 5.  Weigh the oil into the bowl with the eggs, add the cider vinegar and set aside. (You can do this with the Thermomix even while the starter is being activated.)
    6. 6.  Measure the baking powder and xantham gum into a small dry bowl and set aside.
    7. 7.  As soon as the starter is done, immediately weigh in the plain flour and the add xanthan gum, mix, the egg mix and the salt. Mix 6secs/speed 6. Scrape down sides.
    8. 8.  Activate dough setting and knead for 2mins.
    9. 9.  Turn out onto a Thermomat or a well oiled plastic board and cut the dough into two portions using the TM spatula dipped in water.
    10. 10.  With wet or oiled hands press each portion into a round on pizza trays lined with baking paper, spray with oil so it doesn't dry out and allow to rise sitting on the stove for about 15-20 mins.
    11. 11.  Bake each base for approx 10 mins before removing to top with your favourite toppings or cool them to store and freeze as per notes below. 
    12. 12.  Return completed pizzas to the oven for about 10-15 mins until toppings are cooked or until cheese/cheese-like toppings are golden and bubbling.

    Notes:

    A) Bases can be cooled to freeze. Make sure they are tightly wrapped in baking paper and cling wrap to maintain freshness.

    B) Dough will appear stickier than normal flour based doughs because the protein structure of gluten free flours is different and they need more liquid to allow the dough to rise.

    This is how the dough is meant to be in order to get a good result.

    It will rise before baking and will puff up even more in the oven and be lovely and soft inside.

Tip

This has been created from many experiments and a combination of bits and pieces learnt when trialling lots of other recipes without success.  Guidance in respect to Gluten Free flours and the differences in Gluten Free baking allowed me to understand the process and has resulted in a beautiful dough that almost matches any gluten based equivalent - even the non GF in the family is sure to love it!!

    Submitted by maplekiwi17 on 22. October 2017 - 12:01.

    I found this crust to be very yummy and similar in flavour to regular pizza dough, however, I didn't enjoy the consistency when trying to spread out on the pan - only reason I didn't give it a 5 star.

    Ive made this twice now, first time was a roaring success, even though I forgot to cook them before I put the toppings on they still came out perfetly.. Second time I decided to do pizza scrolls and one of my darling cherubs decided to turn the oven up to 250.. needless to say they didn't turn out so well!!Love this recipe though tmrc_emoticons.)

    You are very welcome Jess, I created the recipe to fill a gap as I have allergies and intolerances as well as friends of mine And it can be difficult when you have to make different dishes for other members of the family.

    So happy to hear it was successful for you on all counts!

    Submitted by MadameKaz on 28. December 2015 - 18:16.

    Hi CHO, ive used all kinds of GF plain flour and it works fine with any , it doesnt matter if yours has xanthum gum in it (all store biught plain flours have xanthum/guar gum or similar) the recipe is purposely adding extra to get the right consistency in the dough. 

    I do find that the best and least expensive GF flours from Aldi or Coles own brand are excellent though.

    Let me know how you went!

    I originally used this recipe for a Gozleme style dough.....was beyond amazing for that! I then used it for a Cob loaf and omg,  to die for! I shared this recipe on several Facebook groups and my own page because I NEEDED the world to know how delicious this bread is. My fussy gluten loving husband just loved it! This will be our go to dough recipe FOR EVER!! THANKYOU

    Could you please mention which brand of plain GF flour you used, as I think mine might already have xanthan gum in it, will adding more still be ok? Thanks tmrc_emoticons.-)
