Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar
- 1 packet (or 2 1/4 teaspoons) Dry active yeast
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey (or sugar), and dry active yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.
Add the olive oil and egg to the yeast mixture and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well until a soft, sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Transfer the dough to the parchment paper. Using wet hands or a spatula, spread the dough out into a circle or rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Smooth out any uneven edges.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the surface feels dry and firm to the touch.
Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and add your desired pizza sauce and toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
