Square-Pan Tomato Pizza (For the Crust)

From “Babycakes Covers The Classics” by Erin McKenna (Clarkson Potter, $25).

• 11/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup sorghum flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 6 tablespoons melted refined coconut oil or canola oil
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup cold water
• For the topping:
• 4 tablespoons melted refined coconut oil, canola oil, or high-grade olive oil
• 5 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1/2 cup cornmeal, for dusting
• Handful of torn basil leaves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

To make the crust, in a medium bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Add the coconut oil, agave nectar, garlic, and cold water and mix with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

To make the topping, in a medium bowl stir together 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil, the tomatoes, garlic, salt, and chili flakes and stir to combine. Set aside.

Dust a clean work surface with the cornmeal. Place the dough onto it and sprinkle the top with some of the cornmeal. Roll the dough out into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and trim any excess dough from around the edges.

Brush the dough with the remaining 3 tablespoons coconut oil. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange the tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with the basil. Bake until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes more. Cut into nine squares.

Makes 9 squares.
