Work each half into a flattened pizza crust and place on a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. (sprinkle corn meal on parchment paper before putting crust on it.) Bake your crusts at 400 degrees for about 5-7 minutes to firm. Remove from oven, add your toppings and pop back into the oven for about ten minutes. When the cheese is melted and bubbling, your delicious gluten free pizza crust pizza is ready to eat. Enjoy!
