Ingredients
  

  • 125 g active sourdough starter
  • 250 g warm water
  • 10 g olive oil
  • 10 g whole psyllium husk
  • 80 g brown rice flour
  • 75 g tapioca starch
  • 40 g quinoa flour
  • 1 tsp salt to add with toppings
  • extra brown rice flour for dusting and shaping.

Instructions
 

  • Feed 25g of sourdough starter in the morning with 50g brown rice flour and 50 g of water. Leave it at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours to rise and reach a peak or rounded dome on top.

  • Whisk the levain, water, oil and psyllium husk. Leave this mixture to gel while weighing out the flour.
  • Add brown rice flour, tapioca starch and quinoa flour to the psyllium mixture and combine all the ingredients well. Mix by hand or use a kitchen mixer with a dough hook.
  • Separate the dough into two equal portions and press out the dough into a flat disk using wet hands. Let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then finish shaping it on the parchment paper, with brown rice flour, using a rolling pin and your hands.
  • Let the dough rise for two or three hours in a warm place. It is not necessary to cover the dough. as this will help it create a nice crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) with the pizza stone or a cast iron pan on the middle rack of the oven.
  • Add the pizza sauce, salt and any favourite toppings to the pizza base and then transfer the parchment paper and the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or pan.
