Easy Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipes

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA CRUST RECIPE EVER (DAIRY-FREE + EGG-FREE)

Steps:

• In a glass measuring cup, combine warm water, cane sugar, and yeast. Quickly stir and leave it to sit for 5 minutes until it's frothy and foamy.
• In stand mixer, combine gluten free flour flour, salt, and xanthan gum (yup, extra from what's already in the mix), giving it a quick stir.
• Add oil and yeast mixture to dry ingredients and stir on low until it starts to combine.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then beat on medium-high for 3 minutes. Beating the xanthan gum helps with elasticity, which is very important for soft, chewy gluten-free pizza crust! The dough will be pretty wet and sticky, but don't worry. It's very different from regular dough until you bake it! Then it's magic.
• Leave dough in the bowl and cover with a tea towel to rise for 25-30 minutes. When you scrape the top of the dough, it should have lots of little air pockets.
• Preheat oven to 400 degree F. If using silicone mats, put the pans you'll be using in the oven. If not, lightly grease the pizza pans and dust with corn meal and tapioca starch. #nosoggybottom
• If using, take two silicone baking mats and lightly dust them with corn meal and tapioca starch, if desired.
• Scoop half of the pizza dough onto the center of the prepared silicone mat or pan.
• Wet your hands with water and press the dough into circle or rectangle. It's OK for it to be thin. I usually make mine about ¼- ½ inch thick.
• Continue wetting hands and pressing out dough until desired thickness and size is reached. Smooth with wet hands.
• Repeat with the other half of the pizza dough.
• Pull out one hot pan from the oven and very carefully slide the silicone mat onto the sheet and then into the oven. Repeat.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is opaque and dry to the touch.
• Add desired toppings, while cranking the oven temp up to 450 degrees F. Put topped pizzas back in the oven for 5-8 minutes
• If you like, crank the oven again to broil and broil pizzas until tops are to your liking. I really like those dark brown spots on my cheese, so I broil ours for about 4 minutes. But keep an eye on it! Broilers are finicky ad varying. So, check it every minute, at least! It can get burned if you try to wash a bowl right now. Seriously. Ask me how I know.
• Take pizzas out and let them cool on the pans for 5 minutes so you don't burn your face off.
• Enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Form the dough into two or four balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Set pizza stone or heavy baking sheet on lowest rack of oven, and preheat to 450°F.

• In electric mixer bowl, mix flour blend and salt. Add in egg, olive oil, vinegar, and yeast mixture.
• Mix on low speed for 1 minute.
• Using an oiled spatula, transfer the gluten-free pizza dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Using oiled hands, spread dough into a 10-12-inch round.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Add toppings and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
• Enjoy hot.

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to room temperature. If warming egg whites, place whole eggs in a bowl of very warm water for a few minutes while gathering other ingredients.
• (From scratch: whisk together dry ingredients except yeast; set aside.)
• In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, olive oil, cider vinegar and water.
• Using a stand mixer (preferably), slowly add in the dry ingredient mix with yeast. Beat for 2-3 minutes on high to get a firm but very sticky dough that can still be spread; if dough is tight or resistant to spreading out on the pan, mix an extra 2-3 tablespoons of warm water into the dough until absorbed.(Note: this recipe may be mixed by hand in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon - stir as long as you can!)
• Preheat oven with stone to 500°F (static)/475° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• Remove top parchment and transfer pizza to hot stone.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned, bubbled, and firm.
• Remove to spread warm sauce and toppings, then bake for 2 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375° F (static)/ 350° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• After the crust has risen, bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust is risen and lightly browned.
• Spread with warm sauce and toppings (or if making focaccia, sprinkle fresh rosemary, sea salt or other toppings) and cook an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, if using.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 250ml warm water and the olive oil. Combine quickly with your hands, to create a thick, wet, paste-like texture, adding an extra 20ml warm water if the dough feels a little dry. Store in an airtight container or covered bowl in the fridge for up to 24 hours before using. Using the dough to make pizza? See the full recipe for gluten-free pizza.

YEAST FREE GLUTEN FREE PIZZA | TWO WAYS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the bread hook (or fitted with the paddle attachment if using all purpose gluten free flour in place of bread flour), place the flour blend, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine well.
• Add the olive oil, honey and water, and mix on low speed with the dough hook (or paddle if using all purpose flour) until combined.
• Raise the mixer speed to medium and knead (or mix) for about 5 minutes. The dough will begin as a rough ball and become very sticky, but should be smooth and somewhat stretchy (if using all purpose flour, the dough will first clump and then come together in shards, more like play-doh).
• Spray a silicone spatula lightly with cooking oil spray, and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl or proofing bucket, and cover with an oiled piece of plastic wrap (or the oiled top to your proofing bucket) and place in the refrigerator to chill for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to handle.
• Once the pizza dough has chilled, place it on a lightly floured surface and sprinkle lightly with more flour. Shape into a smooth ball (this will be much, much easier if you used bread flour) and divide the dough evenly into two separate pieces and shape each into a separate ball.
• Sprinkle both lightly with flour, and cover one with a moist tea towel so that it doesn't dry out. Using well-floured hands and a rolling pin, pat and roll out the first piece of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round, rotating the dough and flouring it frequently, to prevent sticking.
• Roll and pat the dough more thickly as you work from the center of the dough to the edges to create a crust (if using bread flour, your shaping will be as shown in the gluten free pizza shaping video).
• Transfer the round of dough to a piece of unbleached parchment paper.
• Repeat with the second piece of dough.
• Place a pizza stone (or overturned rimmed metal baking sheet) on the bottom rack of your oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (350°F if using all purpose gluten free flour).
• If using bread flour, top your pizzas with tomato sauce and scatter with cheese, then place the pizzas, one at a time, on the pizza stone.
• Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, the sauce is bubbling and the crust is puffed and browned. Allow the pizza to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
• If using all purpose gluten free flour, brush the entire surface of each pizza crust with the olive oil to aid in browning. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust begins to puff and brown. Remove it from the oven.
• Top your pizza with tomato sauce and scatter with cheese, then place the pizzas again, one at a time, back on the pizza stone. Bake just until the cheese is melted.
• Allow the pizza to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
