Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 packet Instant dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Stir to dissolve the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be sticky but manageable. If it's too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid properly.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 6

Place the dough on a parchment paper. Using your hands, gently press and spread the dough out into a 12-inch round pizza crust. Use a little olive oil on your fingers to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Slide the parchment paper with the dough onto the preheated baking surface.

Step 8

Bake the crust for about 7-10 minutes or until it starts to just slightly brown.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired toppings, then return to the oven.

Step 10

Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
