Ingredients

1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons instant rise yeast
1 2/3 cup gluten free all purpose flour (I recommend King Arthur brand)
1 teaspoon gelatin
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons buttermilk powder (dairy free coconut milk powder works as well or you can omit it and add almond flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional but delicious)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup pizza sauce (I love Pizza Girl brand)
1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings you desire

Instructions

Combine the sugar and water in a glass measuring cup then sprinkle yeast on top and mix well. Let sit to proof until mixture becomes frothy.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Using a stand mixer, combine all dry ingredients and mix well.
Combine egg, oil and vinegar in an other bowl then slowly add to dry ingredients while mixing. Add the yeast mixture and continue mixing until everything is well blended. Dough will be soft and sticky.
Place your dough on a lightly greased pizza stone then using greased hands, spread dough into a 1/2 inch circle from the edges, making is even as possible. Then press dough slightly thicker at the edges to make a crust.
Let sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes then bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Then remove, add toppings and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly brown. OR bake right away (no pre bake required) with toppings on a Pizza Girl stone for 4-6 minutes at 600 degrees until cooked through and cheese is bubbling.

Notes

Storing and freezing

Storing Leftovers – Once cooled, store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness or in a skillet over medium heat for a crispy bottom.

Freezing Baked Pizza – Allow the pizza to cool completely, then wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes straight from frozen.

Freezing Pizza Dough – Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and store it in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking as directed.
