For Yeast
1 1/4cupWater
1tbspGranulated Sugar
1packetActive Dry Yeast
Dry Ingredients
3.5cupsGluten Free FlourI use Cup4Cup
1.5tspSaltI use Pink Himalayan
1/2tspGranulated Sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine water and 1 tbsp of sugar. Mix together until sugar has completely disolved.
Sprinkle packet of yeast on top of water/sugar mixture and let sit for 8 minutes, or until yeast is foamy on top.
In a medium bowl, using a dough whisk or a wooden spoon, mix together all dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar), olive oil, and yeast mixture.
Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead inside of the bowl until dough forms.
Turn dough onto pre-floured work space (either a clean countertop or large cutting board) and knead for a few minutes until the dough comes together and isn’t too sticky or firm (slightly tacky is best, not so much that it’s sticky). Note: If the flour is too sticky try gradually adding flour until it’s firmer. If it’s too firm/dry try gradually adding water until it’s more pliable.
Roll into a tight ball, place into a pre-oiled large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 2 hours or until dough has roughly doubled in size.
Pre-heat oven to 425°F
Uncover the dough and punch down a couple of times to get rid of excess air that has built up.
Turn dough onto pre-floured work surface and cut into quarters (1 quarter is 1 serving so if making for 2 people use 1/2 or 2 quarters).
Roll into ball, sprinkle with flour and using a rolling pin roll dough into a circular shape (or whatever shape you’d like).
Pinch the edges of the dough to form a crust.
Brush dough and crust with olive oil.
Add sauce and any toppings that you want.
Cook at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until crust is a golden brown and inside is cooked throughly.
