Chow to Cook Season 1 Episode 7 Gluten Free Pizza

In this episode of Chow to Cook, our host takes on the challenge of creating a gluten-free pizza crust that is still delicious and satisfying. With so many people now following gluten-free diets due to celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, it is important to have delicious options available for everyone to enjoy.

Our host begins by explaining the difference between gluten-free flours and regular wheat flour, which contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, which gives bread its elasticity and stretchiness. In gluten-free baking, a combination of flours and other ingredients are used to mimic the effects of gluten.

For this gluten-free pizza crust, our host decides to use a combination of rice flour, sorghum flour, and tapioca starch. These flours provide a nice texture and flavor to the crust. For added flavor, our host also adds some Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the dry ingredients.

Next, our host adds some warm water, olive oil, and honey to the dry ingredients and begins kneading the dough. Kneading is important to develop the texture of the dough and ensure that the ingredients are well combined.

Once the dough is smooth and elastic, our host spreads it out onto a pizza pan and adds some tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. For this particular pizza, our host chooses to keep it simple with just some sliced tomatoes and basil. However, there are countless topping options for gluten-free pizza, just like with traditional pizza.

The pizza is then baked in a hot oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Our host takes the pizza out of the oven and gives it a taste. The crust is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like a regular pizza crust.

Overall, this episode of Chow to Cook provides a great recipe for anyone looking to create a delicious gluten-free pizza at home. The combination of flours and other ingredients used ensures that the crust is flavorful and satisfying, while still being gluten-free. Whether you have a gluten sensitivity or just want to switch things up in the kitchen, this recipe is definitely worth a try.
