    Spray a pizza stone with gluten free casein free cooking oil and sprinkle with tapioca flour.

    To prevent sticking, keep hands well-coated with tapioca flour and press the dough into the pan until you reach your desired thickness.

20. 20
    Add toppings (if using) and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crust is nicely browned.

    If you dont use toppings, continue to cook the bread itself for the remaining time.
22. 22
    For toppings: If you serve it as an appetizer with olive oil and balsamic vinegar you can brush on some melted Earth Balance butter and minced garlic!

    Yum!

    *Psyllium husks can be used as a replacement for xanthan gum and pectin (which I usually use to help bind and add stretchiness).
25. 25
    When you mix the psyillium husks with water it makes a thick glutenous-like substance that works wonders for gluten free baking.
26. 26
    It makes the bread soft and tender while still holding together very well.

    Psyllium is a fiber used in colon cleansing and it can be found at amazon.com or at your local health food store.

    Be sure to look for whole psyllium husks.
