20 20 40

Ingredients

1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/3 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Cornmeal
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
2 tablespoons each chopped onion, green pepper and fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add the flours, xanthan gum, oil, vinegar, sugar and seasonings. Mix until a ball forms (dough will be soft).
Sprinkle cornmeal over a 7-1/2-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Press dough onto prepared pan, building up edges slightly. Do not let rise. Bake at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Spread pizza sauce over crust. Top with onion, green pepper, mushrooms and cheese. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.
