Caramelized Onion & Prosciutto Gluten Free Pizza

Preheat the oven to 450 F.

To prepare the crust, place rice flour, instant yeast, sugar, cornstarch, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, and 1/2 cup of milk in a food processor and pulse a few times. Add sea salt, olive oil, and vinegar into the mixture and run the food processor to low setting. With the processor running, add the rest of milk. Add additional tablespoons of flour, one at a time until it forms a dough.

On a lightly oiled surface with some flour sprinkled over it, knead the dough lightly a few times with the palms of your hands. Leave the dough covered in a bowl or storage/freezer bag (closed) and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a sauté pan with olive oil, butter, and garlic over high heat. Once the butter melts add onion and reduce the heat to medium. Sauté until onion is golden, 15-20 minutes.

Lightly oil a pizza pan. Place the dough on the pan. Press the dough to shape. Sprinkle additional flour on the dough surface if it’s sticking to your fingers/hands. Continue to shape until the dough becomes about 12 inch round. Pre-bake the dough at 450 F for about 12 minutes. Then remove it from the oven.

Place caramelized onions, prosciutto, and cheese on the pre-baked pizza dough and bake again at 450 F for another 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.

Side notes: You can use a regular pizza dough or even bread with this topping and still enjoy the same flavor.
