Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • ½ cup quinoa flour
  • 1 cup tapioca flour or tapioca starch
  • 3 ½ cups corn startch
  • 2 T yeast
  • 1 T sea salt
  • 2 T xanthan gum
  • 2 ½ cups lukewarm water
  • 4 large eggs
  • cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Whisk together flours, tapioca startch, cornstarch, yeast, salt, xanthan gum in a large bowl.
  • Combine liquid ingredients and gradually add them to the dry ingredients with a spoon, food processor or paddle attachment of your stand mixer. (NOTE: I’ve used the proportions in the original recipe but I had to add additional flour because my dough was very runny. Use your own judgement. It should be a very wet loaf but you do need to be able to manage it.)
  • Cover, but not airtight, and rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Refrigerate covered (again not air tight) and use within seven days. It will make about 4 loafs.
  • When you are ready to bake, use wet hands and form a one pound loaf. Shape into a ball and then form into a narrow oval. Place on a pizza peel lined with cornmeal or parchment paper and allow to rise loosely covered with plastic wrap for 90 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees 30 minutes prior to baking. Place pizza stone in the oven to preheat and put a broiler pan on the bottom rack.
  • Slide the loaf into the hot stone and quickly pour 1 cup of tap water into the broiler tray and close oven door. Bake for 30 minutes.
