The Best Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe Ever Dairy Free Egg Free

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!
