Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tsp sugar honey or agave syrup
  • 1 Tbsp dry yeast
  • 2 Tbsp powdered milk or a powdered milk substitute
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • Using a mixer, put the first three ingredients in bowl and let sit for 10 minutes so yeast is activated.
  • Then add in remaining ingredients and mix at low speed until incorporated. Then mix on high for 2 minutes (if the dough is too stiff, add some water - only one tablespoon at a time, until dough does not resist beaters). The dough will resemble soft bread dough.
  • Place mixture on floured surface and spread out to desired thickness, raising edges just a bit. Place on a greased baking pan with some (gluten free) cornmeal sprinkled on it. This will help it from sticking as well as give it a crunchier crust. Brush with olive oil*, then bake at 425°F for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, then spread on your sauce and add toppings. Then reduce oven temperature to 400°F, and continue baking for another 15-25 minutes (depending on thickness) or until top is nicely browned.

Notes

*If you want a thicker crust - lightly drape a piece of greased plastic wrap over the dough and allow to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place before baking.
