Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 12 pieces Anchovy fillets
• 120 milliliters Tomato sauce
• 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 50 grams Black olives, pitted and sliced
• 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.

Step 5

Lightly flour a parchment paper-lined surface with some gluten-free flour or use the cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the dough onto this surface.

Step 6

Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Ensure it's even.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 8

Distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 9

Arrange the anchovy fillets on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced olives.

Step 10

Sprinkle grated Parmesan, oregano, and red chili flakes over the toppings.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using the parchment paper.

Step 12

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Cut into slices and serve hot. Enjoy your gluten-free classic anchovy pizza!
