Instructions
Pizza Dough
Mix flour, yeast, salt, and warm water in a stand mixeron #2 speed for five minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the mixing bowl, as needed.
Add olive oil to the dough and mix on the lowest speed for two minutes.
Form the dough into a ball. Let it rise in the fridge for 3-24 hours in an airtight container.
Jack-O'-Lantern Pizza
Place pizza stone in the oven. Preheat oven to 550°.
Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Press the dough ball to form it into an approximately 12" round pizza crust with a small stem. Leave a raised crust around the edge. Use a dusting of gluten-free flour as needed to keep the dough workable while forming the crust.
Trim parchment paper to prevent charring and transfer the formed crust to the pizza stone. Bake for 7 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven. Top with sauce and cheese.
Decorate the pizza with pepperoni slices. Cut 3 slices of pepperoni into triangles to form the eyes and nose. Use 5 slices to form the jack-o-lantern's smile.
Remove the parchment paper and place the pizza directly on the pizza stone. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
