Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in your gluten-free flour mix)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if needed), instant yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, and egg until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until you get a sticky but uniform dough.

Step 4

If desired, fold in the fresh rosemary for an extra burst of herbaceous flavor.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free location for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.

Step 6

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. Sprinkle a separate baking sheet or pizza paddle with the cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 7

After the dough has rested, transfer it to the prepared baking surface dusted with cornmeal. Using clean, lightly oiled hands, press the dough into a round or rectangular pizza shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake the crust for 8 minutes to set it before adding toppings.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired toppings, and return it to the oven to bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp on the edges.

Step 10

Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free garlic herb pizza crust!
