Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes, allowing it to rise slightly.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 5

Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using your hands or a spatula dipped in olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Parbake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over it.

Step 9

Layer shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 11

Top with pepperoni slices or any preferred toppings.

Step 12

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade gluten-free Sicilian pizza.
