Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Sorghum flour
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a small bowl, add the warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) and the yeast. Stir in the honey and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If it's too dry, add more warm water a tablespoon at a time.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 1/4 inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place the flattened dough onto parchment paper and carefully transfer to the heated baking stone or sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
