Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (280g) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (around 110°F)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup your favorite pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30–40 slices of pepperoni
- 1 tbsp olive oil or an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) for brushing
- dried oregano, garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk together the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Make the Dough: Add the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), and salt to the bowl. Add the egg and olive oil. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes. The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Prep for Assembly: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Turn the risen dough out onto the surface and pat it into a rectangle.
- Roll and Cut: Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 12×18 inches and 1/4-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 6 equal-sized rectangles.
- Fill ‘Em Up: Spoon about a tablespoon of pizza sauce onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border. Top with mozzarella and 5-6 slices of pepperoni.
- Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Use a fork to firmly crimp the edges shut. Transfer to the baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Brush the tops with olive oil or egg wash. Sprinkle with optional toppings. Cut 2-3 small slits in the top. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let the hot pockets cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before serving.
