Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 milliliters Warm water
- 200 grams Tomato passata
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum.
Stir in the instant yeast and salt, ensuring even distribution among the flour.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add olive oil and warm water.
Mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms. It might be a bit sticky, but that's normal.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, typically around 250°C (480°F), and place a pizza stone inside to heat.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions on a well-floured surface.
Gently press out one portion of dough into a circle, around 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
Spread half of the tomato passata evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange half of the sliced mozzarella cheese over the tomato base.
Using a pizza peel, transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and top with 5 fresh basil leaves and drizzle with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and toppings.
Slice and serve your gluten-free Neapolitan pizza hot, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
