Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 8 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 assorted Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and instant yeast.
Add warm water, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared pizza pan.
Arrange mozzarella cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Fold the border over the cheese sticks and press firmly to seal, forming the stuffed crust.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center of the dough, avoiding the stuffed crust edge.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add your favorite toppings.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve.
