Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the honey or syrup is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour). Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth and cohesive.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape the dough into a 12-inch round pizza crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Pre-Bake the Crust

    Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.

  4. 8

    Add Toppings

    Remove the crust from the oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then top with shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of toppings.

  5. 9

    Final Bake

    Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
