Gluten-Free Wheat-Free Pizza Crust

Pizza, Focaccia, Flat, and Filled Breads From Your Bread Machine - Perfect Every Time by Lora Brody, William Morrow and Company, Inc., New York, 1995, P. 61

Makes 2 12-inch crusts

For the dough:
4 teaspoons yeast
2 cups white rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon gum xanthan (optional)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg slightly beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/3 cups warm water or milk

Place all the ingredients in the machine, program for Dough, Basic Dough, or Manual, and press Start.

To finish a pizza:
At the end of the final cycle, preheat the oven to 425F with the rack in the lowest position. Oil or spray 2 pizza pans with nonstick vegetable spray. Oil one side each of two 14 inch pieces of plastic wrap. Divide the dough in half and sandwich one piece between the 2 oiled sides of the peices of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out to a 12 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and place the rolled-out dough on one of the prepared pans. Reuse the plastic wrap to repeat with other piece of dough.
Top the dough with sauce or topping of your choice and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are brown. Serve hot.
