Subject: have you a recipe for wheatless pizza dough?
My honey is a pizza freak, and I'm not good with wheat.
She's got a bread maker and is raring to go. Got any ideas?

Hello Grant,
Try the recipe below.

Wheatless Mushroom Pizza
Dry Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Dry Yeast (make sure it's gluten or wheat-free)
3/4 cup garbanzo and fava flour (if you can't find this, then subsitute with GF mix)
2/3 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup instant milk (I use MilkMan, but if you can't use milk, then substitute water)
3 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (this is expensive, but it's worth the money, it makes the dough not crumbly)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional - it makes the yeast rise more)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (the kind advertised to make your fingernails grow... do not use Jello!)
1/2 teaspoon basil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon oregano (optional)
Wet ingredients:
3/4 cup warm water (warm to the touch but not hot)
2 teaspoons oil (I use virgin olive oil)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (other vinegars *may* have wheat)
Combine dry ingredients and mix well so that yeast is evenly
distributed. If you are making this by hand, you might want
to sprinkle the yeast, Xanthan Gum, sugar, salt, and gelatin
over the top of the other dry ingredients so that it doesn't
lump up in one spot. If using an electric mixer, let it combine
the ingredients on a slow speed for several minutes
(I usually let it mix while I'm measuring the wet ingredients).
If the dough is too sticky, add more GF flour mix. If it is too
thick, add more warm water, a teaspoon at a time. After mixing,
the dough should feel like a soft bread dough (or a feather pillow
if you've never made bread before).
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
While the oven is heating, put a little oil on a 12-inch round
pizza pan and put the dough in the middle. Next I sprinkle a little
GF flour mix over the dough so that it won't stick, and then I roll
the dough flat with a rolling pin. Use your fingertips to spread
the dough out to the edges of the pan. Dip your fingers in a little
GF flour from time to time so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers.
This dough will not get tough, so don't worry about working with it
too much. Try to get the dough an even thickness, but little lumps
and bumps are okay.
*Before* putting any toppings on the crust, bake it in the oven for
8 - 12 minutes until it is firm but not too brown.
Toppings:
1/4 cup tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce works)
1 teaspoon basil leaves (crush in palm of hand)
2 cups shredded mozarella cheese
8 oz sliced mushrooms
Remove the pizza crust from the oven and spread a thin layer of sauce
over the crust. Then I sprinkle basil over the sauce.
Pile the cheese in the middle and spread it towards the outer edges.
Top with mushrooms.
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
You can top it with anything you want
