Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in your flour blend)
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet on the center rack to heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and egg until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Lightly dust a sheet of parchment paper with gluten-free flour or cornmeal. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper.

Step 6

Using your hands or a rolling pin, gently press and spread the dough out into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. For a thinner crust, adjust the size slightly larger to your preference.

Step 7

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake the crust for 5-6 minutes to pre-cook it. This helps to ensure it stays crisp once toppings are added.

Step 9

Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, and other toppings).

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the toppings are bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free thin crust pizza!
