Steps
Sequence Step
1Heat oven to 400ยบ F.
2Combine all dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients.
3Mix both wet and dry together, until moist. If too dry, add more water little by little as needed.
4Knead dough until smooth, roll out and shape. This dough is more like cookie or pie-crust dough; due to the amount of buckwheat used, this dough does not stretch like its counterparts baring more gluten.
5After pre-baking, top it and bake the whole pizza 15-20 minutes.
6Place dough on pan and pre-cook for 3-5 minutes, or until surface does not smush. The idea is to firm up the dough before putting toppings on. The dough should be only semi-cooked; the dough will finish cooking after toppings are on and in the oven. This eliminates under/over cooking of either dough or toppings.
