I loved this recipe. It is easy. Since you do almost everything in the bowl, is mess free. I made a variation of it with onion rings, tomato sauce, fresh tomato slices and spinach, topped with a mix of Gouda and Grana Padano cheese. Simply yummy!

I need to make pizzas for coeliac/gluten free friends in a couple weeks. I will be using a wood fired out door pizza oven at approx 500 degrees C. Does anyone any experience of doing this? Can I put the base & topping in as one at that temperature, or will teh abse stilll need to be cooked first? Normal gluten pizzas take 1 min to cook? Many thank for any advice

Have the girlfriends for lunch today and one is gluten free. Have just made dough from back of Doves Farm bread dough packet. Wohay, very sticky!!! No way can roll. Followed advice from a reviewer and dumped it on baking tray and spread with back of spoon. Shall leave for a bi, then bake for a 10/15 mins before topping goes on.

Worked perfectly for me first time, I made my dough in a food processor, very wet dough, rolled it put onto a greased baking tray and put it in the oven on the lowest setting for around 20 minutes, before adding the toppings and cooking,proper pizza "bread" very happy.

To Martin Woolf: Your mixture was probably too dry because you used 250g of white AND 250g of brown flour. The recipe suggests you have 250g of one OR the other. Hope this helps!

Just tried this recipe and i'm a bit confused. Every other comment was regarding how wet the mixture was, but mine was dry, I had to add more milk and oil to bring it together to a dough. How can 500g of flour and only 150ml of milk produce a wet mixture. Also, shouldn't you leave the mixture t rise before rolling out and adding tomato puree. Although the dough might need 40-50mins, I think that's too long for the toppings. I only really wanted a good base, to add my own toppings. I thinking I must have gone wrong somehow, but can't see where. Any advice appreciated.

A really easy and tasty gf recipe :) accidentally added a bit more liquid than stated but it worked well. Definitely a good idea to bake the base for around ten mins before adding the topping though. So glad I can go back to eating one of my favourite foods!

A really good recipe. The dough is a bit wet, but I use more flour than the recipe suggested to mop up the liquid and also used 50/50 brown bread and plain flour and left the dough for an hour next to my daughters flour mix which is not gluten free. So this makes it very quick, and the pizza seems to rise a little bit and is really tasty and gives a nice bready taste and smell.

It turned out really good. Not too gooey. I did some substitutions, rice milk instead of usual, and ground flaxseed instead of egg, and our own topping. I make gluten free pizzas regularly and have found it easier to just put the ready dough onto the baking sheet and spread it out with the back of a spoon. It may not turn out a completely round pizza, but who cares? I also didn't have time to let it rise, but I couldn't be happier with the result. I used a mixture of brown rice flour, tapioca flour , both organic, and some xantham gum.

I love the pizza base this recipe makes. The dough is very wet, but I use a generous amount of flour to roll out and it's fine. I expect glutenfree dough to tear easily as I transfer it to a baking tray, but unlike wheat flour it's easy to pinch any holes back together or patch with scraps. I miss out the yeast, sugar, and all the oil, out of preference to eat less of these, but it still tastes good. No rising time is needed without yeast, so this makes it very quick, although the pizza doesn't rise and is flat. I usually add up to a teaspoon of sugar to the tomato topping instead, and drizzle the finished pizza with a litle olive oil. I find a mixture of 150g white bread flour with 100g brown bread flour gives a nice bready taste and smell. It is neccessary to pre-bake the base before adding topping, as directed, otherwise the topping burns before the base is cooked. I haven't tried the topping suggested here.

Followed directions but mixture was way too wet. I used a Panasonic bread maker on 'Pizza' programme to do the kneading but can't see doing by hand providing a different result. Added large volume (perhaps 50% more) flour to make pliable but still too wet to roll. At a loss as to how to improve.
