Method

  1. Dissolve sugar in warm water, sprinkle yeast on top, and let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Mix cassava flour and salt in a bowl, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil to form a dough.
  2. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth, then let it rise in a greased bowl for 1–2 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), roll out the dough into a crust, and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  4. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings; bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly, then slice and serve.
