Gluten free pizza – ingredients:

• oil, for greasing
• 450g (1lb) gluten free white bread flour blend plus extra for dusting
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 tsp fast-action dried yeast
• 2 tsp caster sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
• 300g (10 oz) mozzarella cheese, drained and torn into pieces
• a few black olives
• basil leaves

Gluten free pizza – tomato sauce ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 400g can cherry tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato purée
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• pinch of salt
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Gluten free pizza – preparation:

1. Lightly oil 2 baking sheets. Sift the flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Combine 300ml (10 fl oz) warm water, the egg and 2 tablespoons oil in a jug and whisk with a fork. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mix well to form a dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Return the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover loosely with oiled cling film. Leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
2. For the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a medium pan, add the onion and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F/Gas 8). Knock back the dough, divide into 2 balls and roll each out to a large circle. Place on the baking sheets. Divide the sauce, mozzarella and olives between the pizza bases. Season with black pepper and drizzle over a little oil. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Scatter the basil over each pizza and serve.
