Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 240 ml Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Tomato sauce
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- Optional toppings: sliced olives, mushrooms, pepperoni
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum.
In a separate bowl, dissolve instant yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat as well.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle with a slightly thicker border.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the base, leaving a little space around the edges.
Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese, sprinkle the salt and pepper on top, and add any optional toppings.
Transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown.
Remove from the oven, scatter fresh basil leaves over the top, slice, and serve hot.
