All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
In a small bowl, pour the warm water, yeast, and sugar and whisk together. Allow the yeast to “bloom” and let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until it’s frothy.
Add the rice flour to a large bowl. Pour in the water, egg, and olive oil.
Using a fork, gently bring all the ingredients together until dough forms. You may need to add more water or flour to get the right consistency. (Alternatively, you could use a dough hook on an electric mixer for this step. Once the dough is formed, let the machine run for 2-3 minutes to knead the dough.)
Once the dough has formed, knead it with your hands on a floured surface. Dampen a kitchen towel with warm water and cover the dough.
Let the dough rise for about one hour.
Preheat the oven (ideally with a pizza stone inside) to 425F.
When you’re ready to make the pizza, flour your rolling surface again and roll the dough out until it’s about 12” diameter.
Place the dough on the pizza stone and par-bake for about 8 minutes.
Pull out the pizza stone and build the pizza by placing the sauce, cheese, and then the vegetables on top. It’s sometimes best to do this right on the rack of the stove and work quickly so that you don’t lose too much heat from the oven. Alternatively, you can use a pizza peel to remove and replace the pizza dough from the oven.
Bake the pizza for another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust browns.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with the garlic oil before slicing and serving.
