N/A Servings
Makes 1 12-inch pizza. Difficulty
Medium
Ingredients
For crust: 3/4 cup warm water (105-115°F) 1 Tablespoon sugar 2-1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast 2 cups gf flour (see note below in Tips section) 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil Extra olive oil for forming dough
Topping: 1 roasted garlic clove, chopped 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1 red bell pepper, roasted and cut into strips 3 oz. feta cheese, coarsely crumbled 1/2 Tablespoon finely chopped oregano 1/2 Tablespoon finely chopped basil
Directions
In a small bowl combine warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir and proof for about 5 minutes or until foamy.
Mix gf flour and salt in work-bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a paddle.
Add 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil to proofed yeast. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and mix on medium speed for 6-7 minutes. The dough should be soft enough to cling to the sides of the bowl. If it is too stiff, add warm water, 2 tablespoons at a time until dough softens.
Turn dough out onto a greased pizza pan. Drizzle dough with olive oil and rub your hands with a little olive oil. Press dough into an even layered circle, creating a little lip around outer edges. If it starts to stick to your hands rub your hands with a little more olive oil.
Cover pizza crust with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake pizza crust for 7 minutes. Remove from oven (keep oven on).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and roasted garlic clove. Brush the top of the pizza crust with the garlic-olive mixture. Spread the roasted peppers over the top of the pizza. Sprinkle the feta, oregano, basil, salt and freshly ground black pepper over the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is slightly melted.
Tips
To roast garlic, place a bulb of garlic on the center of a square piece of aluminum foil. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle garlic oil over the top of the bulb. Gather up the sides of the aluminum foil and place in a 350°F oven. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the cloves are very soft. Let cool until cool enough to handle.
To roast a pepper, place the whole pepper on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place directly under the broiler. Broil until all sides are blackened. Transfer blackened pepper to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam for 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins and discard the core and seeds.
