  • Ingredients

    Dough:

    • 2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour (500 mL)
    • 1 tsp granulated sugar (5 mL)
    • 1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
    • 2 tsp xanthan gum (10 mL)
    • 2 tsp instant rise yeast (10 mL)
    • 2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)
    • 3/4 cups warm water (175 mL)

    Quick Pizza Sauce:

    • 2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)
    • 1 small onion, diced (1)
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced (3)
    • 3-4 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano or 2 Tbsp each of fresh oregano and basil (45-60 mL)
    • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (1 mL)
    • 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) crushed tomatoes (1)
    • 1/2-1 tsp sugar (optional – will reduce the acidity of tomatoes) (2-5 mL)
  • Directions

    Dough:

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, xanthan gum and yeast. Add canola oil and water. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl when necessary, for about 4 – 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and thick. Adjust with more flour or water as necessary. (The mixture should form a slightly sticky ball.)
    2. Spray a 15 inch (38 cm) pizza pan with canola oil. Rub hands with canola oil. Pat and stretch the dough to fit the pan. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 20 minutes.
    3. Bake for 10 minutes.
    4. Add toppings and broil pizza 4 inches (10 cm) from the heat until cheese bubbles and crust is golden brown.

    Quick Pizza Sauce:

    1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add canola oil. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepper and crushed tomatoes. Simmer sauce for 5-10 minutes.
