Pizza Dough

Taken from an old email, but this should be here.


1 tablespoon of yeast
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar (cider if you have it, otherwise white is fine)

1 and 1/2 cups of flour (slightly more than this probably)
1/4 cup of corn starch
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
seasonings (if you want)

Warm the milk to about 40C, basically it should feel very warm when you put your finger in but not hot. Otherwise you'll kill the yeast.
Add the sugar and yeast to the warm milk, stir until dissolved.
Let the milk/sugar/yeast mixture sit until it starts to bubble.
When foamy (maybe 5 minutes?) add the olive oil and vinegar, stir again to mix
Add the dry ingredients (four, corn starch, xanthan gum, salt, and seasonings). Ideally you want to mix them together first to ensure even distribution, but you can do this in one bowl, just add all the dry ingredients on top of the milk mixture, stir the drys together, then mix in the wet.
You may need to add more flour--stir and add flour until the mixture has a sticky, doughy texture.
Cover the bowl with saran wrap, turn on the oven to 425, and put the bowl on the range (the heat from the oven will help it rise faster).
It will need to rise for about 20 minutes
