1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1 cup Pamela's Pancake & Baking Mix
1 egg
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
garlic seasoning
Yield: 8 to 12 servings
Preheat an oven to 450° degrees F (230° degrees C).
Combine the olive oil, water, egg, and salt in a bowl and mix. Add in the tapioca starch and Pamela's Baking Mix and combine thoroughly. Stir in the yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the mixture into greased, two 8 inch, round, greased cake pans or a 9 by 13 inch pan. Sprinkle garlic seasoning on the edges of the pizza crust. Place on middle rack of the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350° degrees F (175° degrees C). Bake until slightly golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove the pizza crust from oven to add pizza toppings. When finished adding your toppings, place pizza back into the oven at 350° degrees for 5 to 7 minutes.
Chef's Note: This 1-inch thick pan crust is soft, holds together well and there is no need to raise this dough with yeast. Use a generous amount of olive oil to grease your pans for a great taste. Since your are only essentially heating the toppings, not cooking them, make sure you precook any raw meats or veggies.
