A Thankful Post and a Delicious Recipe

Thanksgiving has come and gone; Christmas now approaches.  For my family and I, we were blessed to have three Thanksgiving meals and each one was quite delightful.  It was good to spend time with family and friends and to remind each other of what we are thankful for. 

Here are is another recipe I think might be enjoyable for you and yours.

Here is a recipe for pizza crust on Bigoven.com; I have found to be quite good.

Pizza Crust recipe

	2 1/2 c Rice flour
	1/4 oz (1.5 teaspoons) Gluten-free quick rise yeast
	1 ts Salt
	1/2 ts Xanthan gum
	1 1/4 c Warm water; divided
	(120130 degrees F.)
	3 tb Olive oil
	1 tb Honey

Combine flour, yeast, salt and xanthan gum in large bowl. Stir in 1 cup water, olive oil and honey. Use hands to work dough (dough will be soft and crumbly). Add just enough of the remaining 1/4 cup water to hold mixture together. Knead dough in bowl 5 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Lightly grease 12-inch pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal, if desired. Flatten dough into round disk; press dough into pan. Add sauce, desired toppings; sprinkle cheese over toppings. Bake in 425 degree F. oven 20 to 30 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese melted.

I have made variations of the above by substituting part of the rice flour with potato or doing a half and half of white rice and brown rice flour and both variations proved to be quite tasty. The picture below has toppings of tomato sauce, spinach, broccoli, green bell peppers and mozzarella cheese .
