Gluten-Free Pizza Dough Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour (I use this recipe) 
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
• ​1/2 tsp Coconut Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Cool Water
• 1/4 Cup Warm Water (107-110°F)

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Mix 1 tsp yeast, 1/2 tsp coconut sugar and 1/4 cup warm water together. Set aside for 10-15 minutes until it is bubbly. 
2. Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium size bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup cool water, mix together. It will be dry, that is okay, add the bubbly yeast mixture. Mix together until it starts sticking together, use your hands and get in there, kneed it a little and slide it from the bowl onto your clean surface.
3. Try to use as little flour as possible and kneed it for 10 minutes.
4. If you want a big pizza, leave it one ball if you want two small pizzas, divide it into two. Take the outer edges of the dough and fold it inward until all the edges are folded in. Gently roll it on your board until it is a nice little ball. 
5. In the same bowl you mixed the ingredients in, lightly oil with a vegetable oil, gently coat your ball of dough in the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean damp kitchen cloth, place in a warm area like a stove that is not on. Allow to double in size leaving it to rest for 1-2 hours. 
6. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature for 30 minutes. 
7. Take your fist and press it in the center of the dough, this creates an instant crust. Now, use your fingers to press outwards into that raised edge naturally creating a crust.
8. Place a spoonful of sauce in the center, spread it out evenly. Place your favorite toppings on, vegan cheese, a meat substitute, herbs, pesto, be creative, make it your own and have fun! 
9. Bake 8-10 minutes or until desired consistency.

Pizza Sauce:

• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 Heaping Cups Chopped Tomatoes
• Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to taste
• 1 tbsp dried oregano 
• Handful of Fresh Basil

Peaceful Preparation:
In a small-medium pot add the onions and garlic with a little water, allow to cook for 3-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and oregano. Allow to cook for 20 minutes  until the tomatoes break down. Add the fresh basil, cook until desired consistency, adjust seasoning as desired. With an immersion blender or blender blend until smooth.
