In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, rice flour, corn starch, and instant yeast.
Slowly pour the warm water into the dry ingredients while mixing with a wooden spoon. Once combined, add olive oil and salt.
Mix the dough until it begins to come together, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth.
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise for about 2 hours in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Once risen, transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently press it into an oval or rectangular shape, about 1 cm thick. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F).
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough. Top with cherry tomatoes (sliced in half), vegan mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced), and a few fresh basil leaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the pinsa from the oven and top with fresh arugula, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add extra basil leaves if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegan Traditional Italian Pinsa!
