Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes, allowing it to rise slightly.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using your hands or a spatula dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.
Parbake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.
Layer shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using.
Top with pepperoni slices or any preferred toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade gluten-free Sicilian pizza.
