You'll Never Know This Pizza Crust Is Gluten-Free

Gather the ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, basil, and oregano. Mix well and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, sugar, and olive oil. Stir well—some clumps may remain—and let it rest uncovered for 30 minutes. Foam and bubbles will form and it will smell strongly of yeast. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on low for 3 to 4 minutes until the dough becomes thick and sticky. Cover the bowl with a lint-free towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly grease and flour a pizza pan. Fill a small bowl with water to dip your fingers into. Using wet fingers, spread the dough out onto the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, until it is just beginning to turn golden brown. Remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes until it deflates. Top with your favorite gluten-free pizza toppings. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until the crust becomes golden brown. Serve warm.
