  • 2 tsp. Honey
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil (8 Grams)

Instructions

Make the Dough

  • Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature and turn it off as soon as it is preheated.
  • Combine Caputo gluten free flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking to combine.
  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the water, honey and olive oil together.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a sturdy spoon for about two minutes until the dough/batter is smooth.
  • Add the pizza dough/batter to a large bowl that has been lightly greased with olive oil.
  • Coat the top of the pizza dough with olive oil.
  • Cover the bowl with its lid or plastic wrap and place in the warmed oven for 1-2 hours until the dough has doubled in size.

Baking the Pizza

  • 30 minutes before baking, place a pizza stone in the oven on the middle shelf and preheat the oven to 550ºF
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on a pizza screen or upside down baking sheet and dust lightly with gluten free flour.
  • Turn the pizza dough onto the parchment paper.
  • Using lightly oiled, wet or floured hands, press the dough into a 12” circle.
  • Once the oven is preheated use the pizza screen or baking sheet and slide the crust and parchment paper off the pan onto the pizza stone.
  • Bake the crust for 6-7 minutes.
  • Remove the crust and top with sauce, cheese and your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and place directly on the pizza stone without the parchment paper.
  • Bake for an additional 6-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the Gluten Free Pizza from the oven, cut and enjoy.

Notes

  • Measure Flour the ingredients by volume or weight. Both work for this recipe.
  • The honey helps the crust rise more but can be left out.
  • Use oiled, wet, or floured hands to shape the dough instead of rolling it.
