The Best Gluten Free Pizza Margherita Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together yeast and water; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil and the egg white. Stir in 1 1/4 cups flour blend, the sugar, xanthan gum and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in warm place 1 hour.
• Generously grease 12-inch pizza pan or large cookie sheet. Place dough on pan. Press into 11-inch circle. Cover; let rise 30 minutes. Heat oven to 425°F.
• With wet fingers, press dough into 12-inch circle. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Increase oven temperature to 450°F.
• In small bowl, stir together tomatoes, 1 teaspoon oil, the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Spread evenly over prebaked crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Sprinkle with basil and Parmesan cheese. Divide mozzarella evenly over crust. Bake about 8 minutes longer or until cheese is bubbly and edge is golden brown. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Add water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70 degrees.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Shape the dough into 3 or 4 balls, depending on how thick you want the crust. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
• To make sauce: Blanch tomato for 5 seconds in boiling water and quickly remove. Allow to cool to the touch. Peel the skin with your hands and quarter the tomato. Remove the jelly and seeds, and reserve in a strainer or fine sieve. Strain the jelly to remove seeds, and combine resulting liquid in a bowl with the flesh of the tomatoes. Proceed to crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add salt and olive oil and stir.
• To make pizza: Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat on high broil. Stretch or toss the dough into a disk approximately 10 inches in diameter. Pull rack out of oven and place the dough on top of the preheated pizza stone. Drizzle 5 generous tablespoons of sauce over the dough, and spread evenly. Try to keep the sauce about ½ inch away from the perimeter of the dough. Break apart or slice the buffalo mozzarella and arrange over the dough. Return rack and pizza stone to the middle of the oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes. Remove and top with basil, olive oil, and salt.

Steps:

• Combine warm water, honey, and yeast in bowl; whisk well and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with a hook attachment; mix well on low speed. Pour in yeast mixture and olive oil slowly while mixing until slightly combined. Increase speed to medium-high and mix until a very soft dough is formed, about 4 minutes. Shape dough into a ball; cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (210 degrees C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan with olive oil.
• With greased hands, press dough onto the pizza pan. Brush dough with tomato sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly golden, about 15 minutes.
• Top crust with mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and basil leaves. Bake until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
