Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups (262g) King Arthur Gluten-Free Pizza Flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for the pan)
  • 4 ounces pre-shredded low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
  • 4 ounces pre-shredded cheddar
  • 6 ounces hand-grated low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella
  • ¾ cup pizza sauce

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the gluten-free pizza flour, sugar, instant yeast and salt. Mix to combine.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly add the water and olive oil. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 5 minutes.
  • Using an oiled rubber spatula, scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl and mix again until well-combined.
  • Generously oil the bottom and sides of a 10×14-inch Detroit pizza pan. Press the dough into an even layer all the way to the edges and corners of the pan.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise for 90-120 minutes.
  • When the dough has about 30 minutes left to rise, place a pizza steel in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Slide the pizza directly onto the pizza steel and bake (without toppings) for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the preshredded cheese. Spread this cheese around the perimeter of the dough pressing it firmly into the sides of the pan.
