Here is a sample recipe take from 'Eat With Joy'...

Pizza Base
This is a win, win pizza base as there is no rolling involved and it tastes delicious too!

  • 2 tblsp olive oil
  • 8 fl ozs / 200ml / 1 cup warm water
  • 1tsp. unrefined caster (superfine) sugar
  • 1/2 sachet / 7g / 1 tsp. dried yeast
  • 4 oz / 100g potato flour
  • 4 oz / 100g brown rice flour
  • 1 oz / 25g rice bran
  • small pinch salt

Mix the olive oil, water, sugar and yeast together in a small bowl and leave to bubble up for about ten minutes in a warm place. Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well. The mixture should be too wet to roll out. Place the mixture on a greased non-stick pizza plate, 10 in / 24 cm diameter, or any non-stick baking tray and flatten it out with a spatula or spoon. Place the plate in a warm place until the mixture reaches the top of the pizza plate. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 230C / 450F / Gas 8.

Bake the pizza base. It will only take about 10 minutes. Test to see if it is cooked by inserting a skewer into the base at an angle. If it comes out clean, the base is done. It should also leave the sides of the tin and lift off easily from the base when done. Complete the pizza with your favourite toppings and return to the oven to finish cooking.
