Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (if not included in the flour mix)
• 1 packet Instant Yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cups Warm Water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Pizza Sauce
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 0.5 cups Cooked Italian Sausage (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried Oregano (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting the parchment paper)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if needed), and salt.

Step 4

Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2 minutes until smooth. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a small amount of additional gluten-free flour.

Step 6

Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper dusted with cornmeal. Use a rolling pin or your hands to press the dough into a thin circle (about 10-12 inches in diameter).

Step 7

Transfer the parchment paper with the shaped dough onto a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet for easy sliding onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 8

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the crumbled cooked sausage.

Step 10

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and optional dried oregano on top.

Step 11

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy!
