How to Prepare Gluten-free Pizza Base [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees and place the oven rack on the bottom.
Dissolve yeast in the warm water and add the agave nectar. It should turn white and creamy-looking. In a large bowl, combine the flours, starches, flax, cornmeal, xanthan gum and spices. Make a well and add the yeast, oil and vinegar to the well. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until it is all combined and you have a dough. You don’t have to work the dough very much at all since there is no gluten to develop.
Cover with a dish towel and set aside about 20 minutes. When the time has passed, roll the dough out into your desired shape. Place the dough on an oiled baking sheet and work the dough so it fills the pan. This recipe fits a 10’ x 15’ rectangular baking pan. Brush the dough with some oil and poke a few holes in the dough with a fork.
Bake the pizza dough for about 5 minutes until it just starts to turn brown and gets a little crisp. This will help it hold up to the toppings. Take the pizza out of the oven, add your favorite toppings. Return to the oven to cook an additional 10 minutes or until the pizza is done to your desired crispiness. Enjoy!
