November 2010 Monthly Challenge: Other than Wheat Flour

[DKM]

Just a suggestion for the next monthly challenge; I'd like to see what everyone can come up with using different flours for pizza dough. For example, Bob's Red Mill makes everything from coconut flour to pea flour to potato flour.

corn flour ?

Any flour/mix. Think along the lines of Villa Roma cracking the whole wheat pizza barrier! Include crumb shots

Has anyone made dough with Semolina flour? I'm trying to make some starter with some now, with my sour dough starter using semolina flour. Have no idea how it's going to work.

I use 20% semolina in my regular dough, but have not tried going above 50%.

Semolina is a flour made from durum wheat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semolina.

So what you are saying / it will not make it's own yeast like the KASL flour I'm using now?

[Pete-zza]

Kim,

My comment was to suggest that semolina flour may not meet the requirements of the challenge.

OK I get it, (other than wheat flour) I'm just Forrest Gump stupid to day. Please excuse me.

Needs some work but I am very pleased with my zucchini pizza. I used masa(corn flour) with the zucchini, topped with oaxoa cheese and cooked squash blossoms.

Buceriasdon, I was thinking about using masa in combination with other flours myself.  Were you able to get some rise?  It looks like it.

Hi, I did use a little amount of double action baking powder. I realize it could be pointed out that this creation is a quiche not a dough as I used egg with the masa as a binder. I just don't have access to fancy flours here so this is what I came up with. Next time I will dehydrate the zucchini for a longer period of time.

That is what these challeges are about.

I dehyrated some zucchini in my homemade dehydrator and then ground them in my FP as fine as I could. Coarse zucchini flour. Just that and water. As I rolled it out I had to repair some cracks with water. Some reduced tomato sauce and some mozz with basil for toppings. The texture was similar to a pita, but with a green taste. Hard to describe.
