2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1/2 cup warm water (100 ° to 110 °)
3.65 ounces white rice flour (about 3/4 cup)
1.4 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.4 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.7 ounces potato starch (about 1/3 cup)
0.9 ounce flaxseed meal (about 1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large egg whites
1 large egg
Cooking spray
4 ounces turkey Italian sausage (1 link)
1/2 cup lower-sodium marinara sauce
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives

Instructions

Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Weigh or lightly spoon flours, potato starch, and flaxseed meal into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, potato starch, flaxseed meal, xanthan gum, and salt in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add yeast mixture, oil, egg whites, and egg; beat at low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes.
Spoon dough onto an 11 x 7-inch baking sheet coated with cooking spray and lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat hands with cooking spray; press dough into an 11 x 12-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray, and let rise in a warm place (85 °), free from drafts, 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 °.
Bake at 400 ° for 14 minutes or until bottom is crisp. Cool completely. Increase oven temperature to 425 °.
Remove casings from sausage. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook 3 minutes, stirring to crumble. Spread marinara over crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top with sausage, cheese, and olives. Bake at 425 ° for 12 minutes or until crust is golden.
