Description

This step-by-step recipe for gluten free pizza dough makes creating a delicious, crisp, and flavorful pizza crust easy and foolproof. Whether you're gluten intolerant or simply looking for a healthier option, this homemade recipe is customizable, affordable, and perfect for dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum included)
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Mixing the Dough
  2. Activate the Yeast:
  3. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast.
  4. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy. This step ensures your yeast is alive and ready to help the dough rise.

  6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
  7. Add Wet Ingredients:
  8. Pour the frothy yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar into the dry ingredients.
  9. Mix the Dough:
  10. Use a wooden spoon or electric mixer (with dough hooks) to combine the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
  11. Letting the Dough Rest
  12. Transfer and Cover:
  13. Lightly oil another mixing bowl and place the dough inside. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  14. Proof the Dough:
  15. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment for 30–45 minutes. It may not double in size like traditional dough, but it should become slightly puffier.
  16. Shaping the Pizza Base Gluten-free-pizza-dough
  17. Prepare the Surface:
  18. Place a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Lightly dust it with gluten free flour or tapioca starch.
  19. Shape the Dough:
  20. Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper and use your hands or a rolling pin to shape it into a circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  21. Prepare for Baking:
  22. Transfer the parchment paper (with the dough) onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  23. Baking Tips for Perfect Results
  24. Pre-Bake the Crust:
  25. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the crust alone for 8–10 minutes to ensure a crisp base.
  26. Add Toppings:
  27. Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite toppings—sauce, cheese, and veggies or meats.
  28. Final Bake:
  29. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 12–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the edges of the crust are crispy. baked-pizza-dough in four
