PIZZA (SOY FLOUR CRUST)

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CRUST

• In mixing bowl, beat 1 egg. Add dry ingredients. Add just enough water to form a stiff dough ball (about 1/2 cup).
• Rub a 12 inch pizza pan or a cookie sheet with solid shortening (butter or Crisco), and lightly flour it. Place dough
• ball directly onto the pan or cookie sheet. Cover entire pan or sheet with plastic wrap and roll dough out until it is
• flat. Remove plastic wrap.
• NOTE: Soy flour is not as elastic as wheat flour, and rises very little. It does not have to be rolled into an
• “ultra-thin” sheet. Therefore we do not recommend rolling the dough on a separate surface and then trying to transfer
• it to a pizza pan. The rolling pin’s handles will ride on the edges of the pan, automatically creating a sheet of
• dough that is the proper thickness.
• Lightly coat dough with olive or other vegetable oil (to keep it from getting soggy).
• Harden crust by baking at 400 for 10 minutes.
• Continue to make pizza, or refrigerate/freeze for future use.

PROCEDURE FOR MAKING BASIC TOPPING:

• Cover dough with pizza sauce. Use about 6 tablespoons (which is ½ of a 14 oz jar) Add 1/2 pound of mozzarella cheese.(Use more or less, according to taste).
• Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

SERVING
