Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 cup Almond Flour
- 1 packet Instant Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
- 0.75 cup Tomato Sauce
- 8 ounces Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh Basil Leaves
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and sugar.
Dissolve the instant yeast in warm water in a separate bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix well until it forms a smooth dough. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more gluten-free flour.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat as well.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll into a 12-inch round.
Sprinkle a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with cornmeal and transfer the rolled dough onto it.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and scatter evenly across the pizza. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using the peel.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbling and browned in spots.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving.
Slice and enjoy your gluten-free authentic Italian pizza!
