HOW DO I MAKE MY PIZZA CRUST?
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sourdough starter, lukewarm water, and sugar.
2. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt to the mixture.
4. Then mix until it begins to form a dough.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the dough, then knead it within the bowl for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
6. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has nearly doubled in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
8. Turn the risen dough out onto a piece of parchment paper greased with olive oil.
9. Using oiled hands or a rolling pin, gently press or roll the dough out into a round pizza shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Make sure to create a small rim around the edges for the crust.
10. Slide the parchment paper and pizza dough onto a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet.
11. Then transfer it to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
12. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is just starting to turn golden. This helps prevent it from getting soggy when you add the toppings.
13. Then remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.
14. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the edges of the crust are crisp and browned.
15. Before slicing and serving, let the pizza cool for a few minutes.
