Equipment

  • Baking Sheets medium-large sized

Ingredients

For The Pizza Dough:

For The Toppings:

  • 1 14 oz. jar pizza sauce
  • 1 8 oz. package mushrooms any variety
  • 1 large bell pepper diced, any color
  • 1 cup Manzanilla olives sliced
  • 1 package Canadian bacon make sure brand is gluten free
  • 3 cups Mozzarella cheese shredded, or cheese of choice

Instructions

For The Pizza Dough:

  • Pour 2 cups of warm (not hot) water into a bowl. Add 2 Tbsp. of sugar (or honey) and 3 tsp. of active dry yeast to the water.
    Alternately, you can use this recipe for Homemade Pizza Dough if gluten is not an issue for you. This recipe also makes 2 pizza crusts. Simply cut the recipe in half if you'd only like to make 1 pizza.
  • Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. The yeast will start to proof during this time.
  • While the yeast is proofing, add the dry ingredients to a stand mixer bowl or any large bowl. Add 3 cups gluten free flour blend, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 ½ tsp. kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp. psyllium husk powder to the bowl. Stir until completely combined with the paddle attachment, or stir with a large spoon by hand.
  • After 10 minutes, slowly add the water and yeast mixture, along with ¼ cup olive oil to the bowl while the mixture runs on a low speed. Continue to mix on a medium-low speed for 3-4 minutes, or until the dough is completely combined (make sure to scrape the sides and bottom with a spatula).
    Feel free to use a large spoon to mix the pizza dough by hand if you don't have a stand mixer.
  • Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for 2 hours. The dough will rise during this time.
    The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, but easy to handle.
    If it seems too watery, simply add a bit more flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time and continue to mix until the dough is sticky, but and holds together.

For The Toppings:

  • Remove any dirt from 1 8 oz. package of button mushrooms (or mushrooms of choice) with a dry towel. Slice the mushrooms.
  • Dice 1 bell pepper (any color).
  • Slice 1 cup of Manzanilla olives (or pitted olives of choice).
  • Shred 3 cups of Mozzarella cheese, or any variety of cheese that melts nicely, such as cheddar or Fontina.

To Make The Pizza:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spread some olive oil over the surface of two medium-large sized baking sheets. Divide the pizza dough in half and place each half on a baking sheet.
  • With oiled fingers, spread the dough evenly over the surface of each baking sheet. The dough does not need to reach the edge of the baking sheets. Press the dough as thinly as you can, without tearing it.
  • Place the baking sheets in the oven and par-bake the dough for 15 minutes. (This step is not necessary if making regular pizza crust). Remove the baking sheets from the oven.
  • Spread half a jar of pizza sauce evenly over the surface of each pizza crust.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms directly on top of the pizza sauce. Add desired amount of sliced Canadian bacon (can sub ham or pepperoni) on top of the mushrooms.
  • Place the diced bell peppers on top of the Canadian bacon. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese evenly over each pizza.
  • Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake the pizzas for another 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the pizza slightly crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer the pizzas to a wooden cutting board, and slice the pizzas.

Notes

This recipe makes 2 sheet pan pizzas. Feel free to cut it in half if you'd only like 1 pizza.
