- Bloom the yeast in a smaller bowl. Add the yeast, warm water (warm to touch from the tap) and sugar. Stir to combine, then let it bloom for 5 minutes. You will know when it is done when it is foamy on top.340 grams Warm Water, 8 Grams Active Dry Yeast, 12.5 Grams Sugar

- Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.300 Grams Caputo Gluten Free Flour, 12 Grams Baking Powder, 5 Grams salt
- Cover an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper on the bottom and sides. Add the rest of the olive oil to the pan.
- Combine the yeast mixture with the dry mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- With wet hands, pat the dough into the corners of the pan. Cover in plastic wrap.
- I proof my dough inside a cold oven, with just the oven light on for at least 30 minutes. Ideally 1 hour.
- Once it is proofed, remove from the oven and preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the pan. Wet your hands and poke holes in the top of the dough.
- Add all your toppings on top so it falls into the holes and throughout the top of the dough.2-3 Grams rosemary - chopped, 80 Grams Parmesan cheese, 2 pinch flaky salt, 15 Grams sundried tomato - dried and diced, 3 cloves garlic - crushed
- Once the oven has heated up, place it in the oven for 25 minutes. I open the oven 3 times during the first 10 minutes and spray the dough with water to get an oven lift.
- Once it is baked, remove it from the oven. I typically leave it in the pan until I am ready to serve. Then I remove it from the parchment paper and cut into squares and serve hot. Enjoy!
