Step 1

Prepare the dough as directed on the package or website. Mix the dry ingredients (gluten-free flour mix and yeast) with warm water and olive oil. Cover and let it rise in a warm place.

Step 2

Once the dough is done rising, preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a jelly roll pan or rimmed baking sheet. For a crispier crust, place the pan in the oven for a few minutes while it preheats.

Step 3

With oiled hands, gently press and stretch the dough into the pan, working it into the corners. Do so carefully if you’ve preheated the pan. Let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate the dough (see notes). Then, stretch again into corners, if needed.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, just until it begins to set and starts to turn golden.

Step 5

Spread the sauce over the crust, sprinkle with cheese, and add desired toppings. Tip: If people prefer different toppings, divide the base into 2-3 sections and customize each one. Each section will make about 2–3 pieces — perfect for variety!

Step 6

Return to the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden. *If you’re preparing the pizza in two sheet pans, increase the baking time an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.

Step 7

Let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!

Step 8

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
