Instructions:
1. Prepare the Avocado Dough:
- In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados until smooth. Mix gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and lemon juice into the dough. Combine well.
2. Form a Dough:
- Add warm water little by little to the mix until a soft dough forms. For a few minutes, knead the dough until it gets smooth and springy.
3. Rest the Dough:
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
4. Preheat the Oven:

7. Optional Toppings:
