Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3/4 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough gently in the bowl for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and gently stretch it with your fingers to form a round pizza shape, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving about an inch from the edges for the crust.

Step 8

Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly over the sauce.

Step 9

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 11

Slice and serve hot.
