Gluten-Free Pizza Crust — Batter Version: If there is one gluten-free recipe nearly everyone can appreciate, it is a great tasting pizza crust.
This gluten free pizza crust is created using a batter-type approach. It's very simple to make, and is created in a cast iron fry pan (or similar) on the stovetop and in the oven. This is a softer variety crust, though it has ample crispness around the edges and surface.

Add glutinous rice flour and white rice flour; mix. Add water; mix. Batter should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Add more water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Heat oven to 400°.
Add one tablespoon olive oil to each 8" cast iron skillet. Heat skillets on stovetop.
Split the batter between two heated 8" cast iron skillets. Cook on low heat until bubbles start to form on top of dough.
Sprinkle a teaspoon of corn meal over surface and flip to expose cooked side. Cook on low for a few minutes while pizza sauce, cheese and toppings are added to top. Adjust temperature to prevent burning.
Once all toppings are added, place in 400° oven for approximately 15 minutes.
