Ingredients:
- 2 cups YesYouCan Plain Flour
- 2 grams YesYouCan Xanthan Gum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup warm water
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine YesYouCan Plain Flour, baking powder, salt, dried oregano, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well to combine.
- Add 2 grams Xanthan Gum to the mixture to lock in moisture and hold shape better for rolling.
- Add the olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Gradually add warm water, starting with 1/2 cup. Mix the dough with a spoon or your hands until it starts to come together. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, as needed until the dough forms a soft ball that is slightly sticky but holds its shape.
- Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface or a sheet of parchment paper. Dust the top of the dough with some extra flour to prevent sticking.
- Gently knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- After resting, place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press and shape it into a round pizza crust or the desired shape and thickness.
- Bake the pizza base in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the pizza base from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings.
- Once the pizza base is cooled, you can add your desired sauce, vegetables, vegan cheese, and other toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the crust is crispy.
