Gluten-free Cheese and Herb Pizza Crust

Prep/total Time: 45 Min
Yield: 1 Pizza Crust

¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
¼ cup garbanzo bean flour
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup tapioca starch
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp xantham gum
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 cup lukewarm water
1 (0.25 oz) package of active dry yeast
1 egg
1 ½ tsp olive oil
½ tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp white sugar
½ tsp minced garlic

Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Grease a 15-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Stir all-purpose baking flour, garbanzo bean flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, xantham gum, Italian seasoning, oregano, and salt together in a bowl; set aside. Disolve 1 tsp of white sugar in lukewarm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top, and set aside until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Beat egg in a separate bowl with olive oil, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and garlic until smooth. Whisk yeast mixture into egg mixture and stir in flour mixture until no dry lumps remain. Press dough into prepared pan, leaving outer edge slightly thicker than the center.

Cook in preheated oven until dough has risen and slightly firmed. Once topped with your favorite toppings, continue baking at 425 °F (220 °C) until the crust is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove pizza from pan and cook directly on the oven rack for 5 minutes to crisp crust, if desired.
