Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
• 2.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Brick cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter-like dough.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes in a warm place to allow the dough to rise slightly.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 10x14 inch Detroit-style pizza pan or a similar-sized rectangular pan in the oven to preheat.

Step 5

Once the dough has rested, remove the hot pan from the oven and sprinkle it with the cornmeal.

Step 6

Pour the dough into the pan and gently spread it with a spatula to cover the entire surface evenly.

Step 7

Scatter 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and all of the brick cheese over the dough, ensuring some cheese touches the edges of the pan to create a crispy edge.

Step 8

Distribute the crumbled cooked Italian sausage evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Spoon the pizza sauce over the top in three thick lines lengthwise along the pizza.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, and dried oregano over the top.

Step 11

Place the pan in the preheated oven on the lowest rack and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden-brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan, about 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Step 13

If desired, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes before serving to add a touch of heat.
