Easy Teff Pizza Base

Serves 4
Prep time: 25 mins + 2 1/2 hours resting
Cook time: 5 mins

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lukewarm water (30deg)
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 packet dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 1 Cup Brown or Ivory Teff Flour
  • 1 cup gluten free self-rising flour
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • extra teff flour for kneading

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together your water, honey and yeast until well combined, leave for 5-10 minutes until the yeast “blooms” and comes alive, it will be foaming, cloudy and active.
  2. Once your yeast is active, whisk in your olive oil and eggs.
  3. In a separate bowl mix in your teff flour, gluten free flour and xanthan gum until well combined.
  4. Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients and pour in your wet ingredients. Mix slowly until thoroughly mixed and well combined.
  5. Cover with a damp clean tea towel and leave to double in size in a warm place for 2 hours.
  6. Sprinkle some flour onto a bench, place your dough on flour and knead into 4 nice round balls.
  7. Place on a baking tray dusted with flour, cover, and leave to rise again for another 30 mins.
  8. Roll out into flat pizza bases, I did this on baking paper, top with your favourite pizza flavours, cook on a tray in a super-hot oven or a pizza oven and enjoy!
