pizza party

We had friends over today and decided to make one of our favorite pizza's. What kid doesn't love pizza and this is a very yummy pizza and you won't miss calling for delivery.

The dough:
2 tbs yeast
11/3 cup rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour/startch
1/4 cup dry milk
4 tsp zantham gum
1 tsp salt
2 tsp unflavored gelatin
1 tsp ital.seasoning 
blend all together in a mixer

1 1/3 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar/honey
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp cider vinegar

Add to dry and mix for about 3 minutes, until it resembles soft bread dough.
Roll out your dough to fit your pan, place on greased pan. Bake the dough in a 425 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Now while that baking you want to get a small dish, add extra virgin olive oil and freshly chopped or minced garlic, add pepper and parsley and mix it all together. Now when the dough is done baking let it cool a min and then with a basting brush, brush on your olive oil mixture, then add your sauce. I do a thin layer of sauce otherwise my kids have a huge mess and it takes away from the flavor of the olive oil mixture, but do as much or as little or no sauce that you want. Top with cheese, I use mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese.
 Leave the oven at 425 defgrees and bake for another 20 minutes.

Doughnut Drops

    Gluten Free Doughnut Drops

   This is what we had for breakfast, after playing around with the ingredients we successfully made yummy gluten free homemade doughnuts.

                   Heres what we did:

Get you deep fryer up to 375 degrees

1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (use regular flour for non gluten free)
1 cup sugar (we used stevia for diabetic)
2 tsp baking poweder
1 tsp zanthan gum (take out for non gluten free)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
 Mix all the dry ingredients together

Next add 1/2 cup of milk
2 tbs oil
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla

Drop rounded spoon fulls in your deep fryer, cook about a minute in a half on each side. Place warm doughnuts on a paper towel. We rolled ours into a cinnamon, sugar mixture while they were still hot.
1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon.

Eat and enjoy.
 They were actually pretty quick. Prep time was around 5 minutes and cook time was very quick. I can't say how many you will you will get, depends on how big you make the doughnuts
