Vegan Receipe - 'Av it!' - Gluten Free Pizza W Raw Avocado & Onion Topping


This is a receipe for  a gluten free delicious filling vegan pizza. It features a yellow corn flour base with a sauteed tomato and garlic sauce, topped with raw ingredients of white onion, coriander and scoops of fresh creamy avocado.


The step by step process below makes x1 personal size pizza.



I tend to make my food by eyeballing the ingredients so adjust ingredients according to taste.

○Yellow corn flour x1 cup (Juana Brand, Maiz Coscado)
○Pink Rock Salt
○Black Pepper 






To make the yellow corn flour base pizza

Pour yellow corn flour into a mixing bowl.



Grind in some pink sea salt.




Grind in some black pepper.





Pour in some water little by little and form a dough. You can always add more water or corn flour if initially it's too wet or too dry.



 

You want a firm but moist dough. Once you have the desired texture you can then roll into a ball with your hands.



 


Place the balls on a plastic surface (like a large freezer bag/clean plastic bag) and squish with your the palm of your hands. Next use the pads of your fingers to flatten out into a circular shape. Your aim is to gently flatten the dough outwards towards the edges



 Form ridges around the edges to form a middle section for the sauce.


Close up of the pizza base which is now ready to bake in the oven. Bake at 200c for approximately until light golden brown. 


The base is ready when it looks like the one below. It will have a light golden colour and be firm and crispy on the surface. The nature of corn flour is that it will crack in places but still hold frm. I quite like the cracks as it gives the pizza an artisan feel!


Close of of finished pizza base ready for the tomato sauce.


To make the tomato sauce I sauteed x2 and 1/2 large tomatoes with some roughly chopped garlic and added pink salt to season. You can add extra herbs like oregano if you wish but for this pizza I opted to just make a basic tomato and garlic sauce. 

Once the sauce is done let it cool a little then spoon into the middle of the crust.


Next top with slices of raw onion.


Next throw on some fresh coriander leaves.


Finally scoop out x1 large avocado and place on top and voila your personal gluten free pizza is ready eat!
