ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups gluten free baking flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1 1/2 cups room temperature gluten free beer
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons or more to taste canned crushed tomato
- 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
- 1 cup shredded "quesadilla cheese"
- 1/2 small red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup chorizo (I used trader joes soy chorizo)
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
- 1/4 cup pineapple, diced small
- hot honey, for topping as desired
Method
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, yeast, and sugar. Gently stir to combine.
Step 2
Pour in gluten free beer, and olive oil and mix on low once or twice to incorporate liquid into yeast. Allow to sit/activate for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
Step 3
Add salt, and mix on low-medium scraping sides of bowl as needed until a shaggy dough begins to form (about 3-5 minutes)
Step 4
Cover, and place in a warm spot for at least an hour- until doubled in size. You can place it ontop of or near the oven while it preheats (to 500!) It's nearly summer in Georgia, so I set it out side :)
Step 5
Once dough has doubled in size, it will still look very shaggy. That's ok! We're not rolling this dough out.
Step 6
Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter, and dust lightly with corn meal or gluten free flour.
Step 7
Gently transfer dough from bowl onto parchment. Oil hands with olive oil, and tap dough into the shape of the cast iron you'll be cooking in.
Step 8
Transfer parchment and dough into cast iron. Bake for about 5-7 minutes first, to assist with additional rising and par-bake the crust.
Step 9
Brush edges of crust with olive oil, and stack on your toppings...
Step 10
I used a crushed tomato sauce, two cheeses, pineapple, red onion, soy chorizo, and pickled japaleno. But use your favorite toppings!!
Step 11
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until crust has browned and cheeses have melted.
Step 12
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
