Crust Ingredients

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil, water, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough gently for a minute or two until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.

  5. 5

    Shape the Crusts

    Divide the dough into individual portions, and press each portion into the bottom and up the sides of individual baking pans.

  6. 6

    Bake the Crusts

    Place the crusts in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then fill with your favorite toppings or sauce and serve.
