Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 12-inch pizza pan by greasing it lightly.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch (or potato starch), tapioca flour, sugar (or honey), xanthan gum, salt, potato flour, baking powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and Italian seasoning.
3
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
4
Add the egg and soymilk to the dry mixture, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra rice flour to help with handling.
5
Transfer the dough to the prepared pizza pan. Dust your hands with rice flour and gently pat the dough down to achieve a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
6
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until it begins to turn golden brown.

Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are crisp.
