1

Mixing the Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix them together until well combined.

2

Adding Wet Ingredients and Kneading the Dough

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the mixture until it starts to come together, then use your hands to knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

3

Letting the Dough Rest and Preheating the Oven

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to fully hydrate. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

4

Rolling out the Pizza Dough

Once the dough has rested, dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour to prevent sticking.

5

Adding Tomato Sauce and Toppings

Spread a thin layer of gluten-free pizza sauce or tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, sprinkle your favorite toppings, such as shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced vegetables, and cooked meats.

6

Baking the Pizza

Carefully slide the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake it in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

7

Decorating with Edible Flowers

Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, top it off with colorful edible flowers for a unique and eye-catching presentation. Arrange the flowers on the pizza, allowing their vibrant colors to contrast with the pizza's toppings.

8

Slice, Serve, and Enjoy!

Using a pizza slicer or a sharp knife, slice the gluten-free pizza into desired portions. Serve it hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors, textures, and the unexpected touch of edible flowers. Enjoy your gluten-free pizza extravaganza!
