Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in your gluten-free flour mix)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if needed), instant yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until you get a sticky but uniform dough.
If desired, fold in the fresh rosemary for an extra burst of herbaceous flavor.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free location for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. Sprinkle a separate baking sheet or pizza paddle with the cornmeal to prevent sticking.
After the dough has rested, transfer it to the prepared baking surface dusted with cornmeal. Using clean, lightly oiled hands, press the dough into a round or rectangular pizza shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake the crust for 8 minutes to set it before adding toppings.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired toppings, and return it to the oven to bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free garlic herb pizza crust!
