Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour* (with xanthan gum )
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider)

Instruction

  • Microwave the water for about 30 seconds or until it reaches 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit. You don't want it too hot or it will kill the yeast, but it needs to be warm enough to activate the yeast.
  • Mix in the sugar and one packet of yeast, stir together and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add in the whisked egg, vinegar, olive oil and water/yeast mixture.
  • Mix together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a dough forms. It will likely be a bit sticky at this point.
  • Cover with plastic wrap then cover with a towel and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour to rise. I like to put it in the oven.
  • After 1 hour, preheat the oven to 425 and let the dough sit in the fridge for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to roll out.
  • Add the dough to a floured piece of parchment paper and knead in 1-2 more tablespoons of flour until it forms into a smooth ball. Avoid adding too much flour, just enough until a ball dough forms and the dough isn't as sticky.
  • Use a floured rolling pin and roll into a roughly 12 inch circle. I like to keep the crust fairly thick, you will be able to get a larger pizza or two smaller pizza if you prefer it thinner, just depends on your preference.
  • Generously brush the top of the crust with olive oil and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, add sauce and any desired toppings and bake an additional 8-12 minutes. Feel free to bake for longer if you like it crispier or shorter if you prefer it doughier.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!
