Step-by-Step: Pizza Crust

Pizza Crust Mix

Whole Recipe

Makes: One 14” Round or One 10”x14”crust
1 Emma’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix
3/4 C Warm water, divided
2 Eggs
2 1/2 T Olive oil
1/2 tsp  Red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Desired toppings

Preheat oven to 425° F.
Remove yeast and sugar baggies from Emma’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix. In a small bowl, mix the yeast and sugar together. Add 1/4 C of warm water and stir. Let it sit and bubble for a few minutes. 
Pour Emma’s Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix into the bowl of a standing mixer with cookie attachment and swirl briefly. When the yeast mixture is very bubbly, add to mixer and mix until combined.
Combine olive oil, eggs, and vinegar in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated. Evaluate the batter. You want the dough to look like stiff cake batter. The dough should still hold the swirls of the mixer, but it should be shiny and not dull.  Add water slowly until the right consistency is achieved.
Put parchment paper on your pizza stone and brush with olive oil. Turn dough out onto stone and, using wet hands, spread out until even and nicely shaped (crust is usually about a 1/4” – 3/8” thick).
Prebake crust for 15 minutes.
Add sauce and toppings as desired and continue to bake (or broil) as toppings require.

Step-by-Step: Pop Tarts

Pop Tart Mix


Whole Recipe

Makes: 10-12 Pop Tarts
1   Emma’s Gluten Free Pop Tart Mix
1   Emma’s Gluten Free Dusting Flour (Not included. Any gluten free flour will do)
1 C Unsalted butter (cold), cut into 1 inch pieces
2 Large eggs, divided
2 – 3 T Milk
10 oz. Strawberry jam (or any flavor you like!)

Pour Emma’s Gluten Free Pop Tart Mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and work it into the mix with your hands until it is crumbly and the texture of coarse sand with some large pieces about the size of grapes.


Add 1 egg & 2 T of milk. Mix with a spoon until you have a soft dough that is not sticky. You may need to work the dough with your hands to get it to come together. If too dry add the final 1 T of milk.
Divide the dough in half. Wrap one half with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
Place a 9”x13” piece of waxed or parchment paper on a work surface. Dust with Emma’s Gluten Free Dusting Flour. Place dough on the parchment, sprinkle with a little more dusting flour, and top with more parchment paper.
Roll dough into a rectangle, slightly larger than 12”x 8” (Work carefully! Dough is delicate). Use a knife to trim the dough to 12” by 8”. Cut the 8” side in half and the 12” side into fourths to form eight 3”x 4” rectangles.Beat 1 egg and brush 4 rectangles with it. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of jam on each egg-brushed rectangles and spread it out, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides. Cover with the plain dough rectangles. Seal the edges with your finger tips and then press with the tines of a fork. Prick the center of each pop tart several times with a fork. Brush with more egg and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (If dough is no longer cold, refrigerate up to 30 min before baking.)
Repeat the rolling and filling process with the other half of the dough. Preheat oven to 350° F.
Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and serve.
