Ingredients
1 tsp sugar
300ml water, heated until lukewarm
2 x 7g sachets dried yeast
300g gluten-free flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 level tsp gluten free baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Dissolve the sugar in half the warm water, stir in the yeast, mix well and set aside for five minutes for the yeast to start work and froth.
Place the remaining dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture and oil and mix well, adding the remaining water a little at a time. Mix through until you have smooth, fairly wet dough. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Divide the dough into two balls. Transfer one dough ball onto a sheet of baking parchment. Cover with a second sheet of parchment on top and flatten the dough out between the papers, to form a 20cm. Repeat to make another base.
Transfer the bases onto baking trays. Bake the pizza for 8–10 minutes and then remove to add the toppings of your choice. Return the pizzas to the oven with the toppings and bake for a further 15-20 minutes until bubbling and golden.
Serve hot, straight away.
