Ingredients used in Instant Gluten-Free Millet Pizza

Millet Flour

I make this gluten-free pizza with different millet flours. I like to use barnyard, ragi flour, and jowar flour. I also use buckwheat, water chestnut, or quinoa flour to make this pizza. However the last there are not millets but grains.

If you like to try this Barley Flour Vegetarian Pizza, which uses another healthy flour and now whole wheat. However, this barley flour pizza is not gluten-free.

Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Puree

I have used pumpkin puree in this recipe. This is for binding the dough as it is difficult to bind the gluten-free flour. It also adds a nice crunch to the base. Typically potato flour or starch is added to gluten-free breads, here I am adding the potato or pumpkin puree directly. One can use normal mashed potato too.

How to make Pumpkin Puree

I know pumpkin is not in season currently but I had a batch of pumpkin puree stored in the refrigerator from my fresh garden harvest. If you want to check how to make and store pumpkin pure, check this post.

Baking Powder

I have used this to give it a little rise and also for the base to get crisp. Be sure to use 100 percent certified gluten-free baking powder.

Other Ingredients

Salt is used for flavoring, and water to make the dough. Oil is used for greasing the dough and cooking the base.

Is this Gluten-free Millet flour pizza Vegan?

The base is vegan and hence it makes it a Gluten-Free and Vegan Pizza. The whole pizza is not as I have used cheese.

1 cups Millet Flour
½ Cup Pumpkin Puree / Sweet Potato / Mashed potato can be added too (Tinned puree can be used))
1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 cup Water more or less might be required
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil oil for greasing and shallow frying
1 tablespoon Millet Flour for rolling

Pizza toppings

4-5 tablespoon Pizza sauce

Instructions

Making pizza dough

In a large bowl sieve the millet flour
1 cups Millet Flour
To this add salt, and baking powder and mix everything.
1 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt
Now add the pumpkin puree and mix again.
½ Cup Pumpkin Puree
Slowly add the water and make a semi-stiff dough.
1 cup Water
Do not make it too stiff or too soft.
Stiff dough and the pizza crust would be too hard, and soft dough would be difficult to roll.
Grease the dough with 1 teaspoon of oil, cover and let it rest.
2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil
Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.

Making of pizza base

After 5-10 minutes, give the dough an even knead.
Divide the dough into lemon-sized portions or as desired.
Dust the dough with some dry flour.
1 tablespoon Millet Flour
Using a parchment paper, place the dough ball.
Cover again from the top, and roll it.
One can roll it without the parchment paper directly on a rolling board.
If required use a cookie cutter or a round disc to shape the pizza base.
Cooking of pizza base
Heat a cast iron pan or a nonstick pan.
Let it get warm.
Once warm, grease the pan with oil.
Now gently add the base to the pan.
Cook the base on a slow to medium stove.
Once it appears slightly dry from the top, brush a little oil.
2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil
Flip and cook on the other side, by applying some oil.
2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil
Cook on both the sides until they are 90 percent done.

Assembling pizza

Once the base is 90 percent done, spread the base with pizza sauce.
4-5 tablespoon Pizza sauce
Top it with veggies of choice and cheese.
½ cup Cheese, Vegetables
Cover and cook on a slow stove until the cheese melts and the base is crispy.
Serve it hot.
