This is a recipe my family has been using and modifying for years. It's not "simple" to make because it takes some planning but I'll try and lay it out in logical order.
We've done a number of variations on this. Taco Pizza, Chicken BBQ, using shortening, using bacon grease all dependent on what we had in the house at the time. I'll give my thoughts on some of them.
This makes two 12 inch pizzas. Although we have made one really thick pizza from this recipe and it was still pretty good.
Sorry this took so long to put together, I've been promising this for a while and I was supposed to get it in for the Pizza contest. Life has a funny way of getting all complicated.

Like I said, this isn't a "simple" recipe. There are some cooking techniques used beyond "throw it all in a bowl then cook it". If this is scary to you, try not to worry, even if you don't do them perfectly, you'll still come out with pretty decent pizza.
I will advocate the use of kitchen tools you may not have. If you don't have these tools you can still get by and I'll attempt to tell you how. We recently made pizza on a campfire with very few tools and it was still yummy.
Useful tools
Kitchen Thermometer - This is just for making sure your water is "lukewarm" +/- 110 degrees
Egg White Strainer - useful but not needed, for years I made this by cupping the yolk out with the shell.
Stand Mixer - You can use your arm and a spoon, I've just gotten lazy.
Convection Oven - like I said, we've done this on a campfire, but you will need a heat source of some kind.
Cast Iron Pizza Pan - These rock! but not needed.
Not Vegetarian
I will advocate the use of bacon grease in the making of this. Spectrum vegetable shortening is a good alternative. There are ingredients like milk and egg used in this recipe and can be substituted but I have no idea what the results will be like.

Has anyone tried substituting other things for the dry milk or the potato starch?
The dry milk is important to balance the liquids. Now if you're allergic to milk, there is a substitute (that I can't remember at the moment) that we've used for our friends that are lactose intolerant. Let me know if you need that and I'll see if I can find out.
Substituting Potato Starch is doable with only minimal change if you use tapioca startch/flour. It just costs more that way.
If you have a breadmaker, this is our favorite bread recipe http://www.instructables.com/id/Gluten-Free-Living/step6/My-Breadmaker-Recipe/ which we have put garlic on and toasted on the broiler pan.
My wife has to be gluten-free, so we found a product called Duinkerken. They have bread, muffins, cookies, pancakes, waffle, mixes. We really like it. They have a web sight and will deliver to your home, we buy it at the bulk barn, but Sobeys also has it in some stores. There web sight is
www.duinkerkenfoods.com
None of that really means anything, it just struck me as a really odd string of coincidences. Anywho, We'll have to check out Duinkerken Foods. Thanks!
And you're welcome for the recipe.
Results may vary. I keep a very strict GF diet, so the slightest amount of Gluten causes me quite a bit of discomfort.
Remember: G is for Gluten, and Gluten = Good.
But the crust was outstanding and I intend to try and re-create it one of these days.
I'm also very envious of your Cuisinart. :-}
It certainly looks like a recipe that is a lot of work but has a big pay off!
