Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 0 olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet in the oven to heat up as well.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and warm water until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring initially with a spoon and then using your hands to knead the dough in the bowl until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 5
Place a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and sprinkle lightly with some extra gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto the prepared parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a round shape about 12 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the rolled-out dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Step 8
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and lightly spray the surface with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 9
Add your favorite gluten-free low-fat pizza toppings, then return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
