maybe you could just use a scone dough?

A scone dough works - add fresh or dried herbs if you want - no oil needed, or you could add a tablespoon.

the difference in mills between 2 tblspns and 1/4 cup is not a lot
1/4 cup = 60 mls 2 tblspn = 30 mls

There is a very special Italian recipe called "Torta di Cavolfiore" - not many people know this ... but here is the recipe and this is yeast free, wheat free, baking powder free, gluten free:
Ingredients: 1 cup cooked, grated cauliflower 1 egg 1 cup mozzarella cheese 1 tsp oregano 2 tsp parsley
Directions: Preheat oven to 250 degrees C. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or use baking paper. In a medium bowl, combine cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Press evenly onto the pan. Sprinkle with oregano and parsley.
Bake at 250 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven.
Add desired pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, etc. ) and place under a broiler at high heat until cheese is melted.
We make pizza once a fortnight here and I find the cracker recipe makes a fantastic pizza base.
2 Cups Flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup oil 2/3 cup warm water
mix altogether and spread onto baking paper on a tray or pizza dish.
Add your toppings and bake for 20 mins at around 180.
So easy and quick, tastes good too :)

Ahh ellie - I am sure it is just as "secret" a recipe as all yours are :) Try it out and tell us how wonderful it is ...

Not like you to be so coy, uli? ? ?
None of my recipes are secret. I give the source whenever I can... plagiarism is anathema to me!

So if I tell you that "Mamma" who lived in Monfalcone about 1983 told me - is that ok with you? Or do you need her full name, address, shoe size and number of bambinos too?

Hi Uli, that's fascinating. I remember eating something very similar in a little vegetarian cafe in Rome (in Cavour, from memory). The owner/cook was from the North-East, and served the torta with tomatoes on top. It was delicious.

Yeast free isn't bread dough. If it isn't bread dough it isn't pizza.

Thanks, uli. This is truly a revelation!
Up till now any pizza recipe that was posted without a yeast dough you said adamantly was not a pizza and not authentic!
Pleased to discover that you DO have an open mind... unsure why you've been hiding this dark secret of Monfalcone ;)

I wouldn't waste expensive buffalo mozzarella on this base, I would use a NZ fresh mozzarella like Kapiti or Matatoki.
I make something quite similar using haloumi and no egg, which has a different character but is very nice.

The just so simple Pizza Base. . a old tupperware one. . that when I loose this page I loose my mind haha 1cup flour, 1tsp baking powder, pinch of salt, 1tbsp oil, 1 cup tepid milk or water. . (just sit on bench not need to warm just not cold room temp) Place flour, BP Salt in small mixing bowl, Add oil, then milk or water seal and burp, (I use and bowl that has a good seal) Roll and top with what ever you like, cook for 20mins at 350Excellent for lunch cold or reheated just so simple...

Bumping to liberate the pizza base for all time and set it free from the pointless debates about needing a yeast base to be 'authentic' :)

Thank goodness for the message board :-) Just made this base - in the oven as I type. I added a bit of cheese and some garlic and herb salt -and did it in the food processor. Quick as and a perfect texture. Looking forward to eating some soon -smells good.
