I received the Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker as a Christmas gift. While no one in my household is gluten-free, I ordered the KA Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour Mix for the sole reason of trying it with my new pizza maker. Because I love pizza so much but am attempting to eat wiser, I was hoping to find an easy home-made alternative to traditional pizza dough.
This dough, by far, exceeded my expectations. The pizza this recipe/product produced was outstanding! It was thin and crispy and delicious. I know it was good because my husband ate several pieces after he had already eaten a pizza made with the KA Pizza Crust recipe.
For any others out there who have the Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker, I followed the recipe exactly through the initial rest. After the initial rest, I made two pizzas rather than one. Using two sheets of parchment paper topped with 1 tablespoon of olive oil each, I placed ½ of the dough on each of the two sheets and worked, with wet finger tips, to approximately 10 inches in diameter. I pre-baked the pizzas in the pizza maker on the parchment paper for about 7 minutes. After removing and topping, I placed them back in the maker (still on the parchment paper) for about 3 minutes, then pulled the parchment out and let them cook directly in the machine (on the pizza stone) until the crust was browned and crisp and the toppings were hot and bubbly. I had no issues with sticking.
I cannot say enough how easy this is to make and what delicious pizza it produces and while my family is not gluten-free by necessity; our home-made pizza dough will be gluten-free by choice! Thank you for a great product and recipe!
