Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in your flour blend)
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet on the center rack to heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and egg until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with gluten-free flour or cornmeal. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper.
Using your hands or a rolling pin, gently press and spread the dough out into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. For a thinner crust, adjust the size slightly larger to your preference.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the crust for 5-6 minutes to pre-cook it. This helps to ensure it stays crisp once toppings are added.
Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, and other toppings).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free thin crust pizza!
