Gluten Free Pizza Crust

I wish I could give credit to the blog I found this recipe on. I just don't know where I found it. I've changed the recipe slightly but not quite enough to call it my own. Sorry to the original poster! This is a really good recipe. Gluten free doughs are difficult to master at first because the dough is so different in texture than glutenous dough.

1/4 cup millet flour (I use buckwheat)
1 C brown rice flour
3/4 C tapioca flour
2 tsps zanthan gum
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbs sugar (I use honey)

1 tsp sugar (honey)
2 1/2 tsp yeast
3/4 C warm water

2 Tbs ricotta cheese or cottage cheese or almond meal (my preference)
2 eggs
2 1/2 Tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs honey

Prepare liquid ingredients and set aside. Proof yeast with sugar/honey and water. Mix dry ingredients. Mix all ingredients together. Dough should look like stiff cake batter, hold swirls and be shiny (not dull). Pre-heat pizza stone. Shape dough onto pizza stone. It works best if you use parchment paper under dough. Pre-cook pizza crust @ 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Add toppings and cook until cheese is the way you like it.
