INGREDIENTS

Gluten-free cooking spray or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil ½ cup brown-rice flour ½ cup ground flaxseed 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder ¼ cup water 3 eggs 3 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup cooked long-grain brown rice

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a 15-by-10-inch pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray (or lightly coat with vegetable oil). Mix the dry ingredients, from the flour to the onion powder, together in a large mixing bowl. Mix the wet ingredients, from the water to the olive oil, in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the brown rice. Spread the batter on the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Add whatever pizza toppings you’d like and cook until crisp (an additional 10minutes).

Add herbs with the dry ingredients to flavor the crust. Based onthe type of pizza you are making, add the following herbs: basil and oregano for Italian; cilantro for Mexican; and chili pow- der for barbecued chicken.
