Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 8 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks
• 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 assorted Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add warm water, olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 6

Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared pizza pan.

Step 7

Arrange mozzarella cheese sticks around the edge of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Fold the border over the cheese sticks and press firmly to seal, forming the stuffed crust.

Step 8

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the center of the dough, avoiding the stuffed crust edge.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add your favorite toppings.

Step 10

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve.
