In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until the mixture forms a smooth, sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate slightly.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Once the dough has rested, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking, and gently press the dough out into a round shape approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, just until it begins to lightly brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings.
Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and any cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve your delicious nut-free, gluten-free pizza!
