Ingredients

• 3/4 cup Warm Water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 oz packet Active Dry Yeast
• 2 cups (285g) Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 tablespoon Olive Oil (for brushing)
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated, optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Position a pizza stone or sturdy baking sheet on the lowest oven rack, then preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it stand for about 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy.

3. 3

   In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the gluten-free flour and salt.

4. 4

   Add the egg, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.

5. 5

   Mix on low speed for approximately 1 minute, or until a dough forms.

6. 6

   Lightly oil a piece of parchment paper. Transfer the pizza dough onto the prepared parchment paper.

7. 7

   Using oiled hands (to prevent sticking), gently press and stretch the dough into a 10-12 inch circle or oval. Don’t worry about perfection!

8. 8

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

9. 9

   Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven, brush the top with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add parmesan cheese if desired.

11. 11

    Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

12. 12

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice into breadsticks, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
