⭐ Why You’ll Love This Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

  • ✅ 100% gluten-free and optionally dairy-free
  • 🍞 Crisp on the outside, soft inside
  • 💪 Holds toppings without falling apart
  • 🥣 Easy, no-fail dough (no mixer required)
  • 🧊 Can be frozen for meal prep

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar or honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm water (110°F / 45°C)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • ½ tsp apple cider vinegar (optional but helps texture)

✅ Tip: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour like King Arthur, Cup4Cup, or Bob’s Red Mill for best results.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

✅ Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

✅ Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and vinegar. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

✅ Step 3: Let It Rest

Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 30–45 minutes in a warm place. It may not double like wheat dough, but it will puff slightly.

✅ Step 4: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

✅ Step 5: Shape the Dough

Place dough on parchment paper. Lightly oil your hands and press it into a 10–12 inch circle, about ¼-inch thick. Prick the dough lightly with a fork to prevent bubbling.

✅ Step 6: Prebake the Crust

Transfer the dough (with parchment) onto the hot baking sheet or stone. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.

✅ Step 7: Add Toppings & Bake Again

Add sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to the oven and bake for 8–12 more minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is crisp.

🍕 Topping Ideas

  • Classic Margherita – tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil
  • Veggie Supreme – mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives
  • BBQ Chicken – BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, red onion, cheddar
  • Mediterranean – feta, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, olives
  • Dairy-Free Option – use vegan cheese and skip dairy

🧊 Storage & Freezing Tips

  • Fridge: Store cooked crust or slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days
  • Freezer: Freeze baked crusts or dough rounds for up to 3 months
  • To reheat: Bake from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes

✅ Gluten-Free Pizza Tips for Success

  • Use parchment paper to shape and transfer the dough easily
  • Don’t skip the prebake step—it keeps the crust from getting soggy
  • For a crispier crust, bake directly on a hot pizza stone or steel
  • Use a bit of cornmeal under the crust for texture

🔍 FAQ – Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

Q: Why is my dough sticky?
Gluten-free doughs are wetter than wheat doughs. Oil your hands or use a spatula to shape it easily.

Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! The dough is naturally dairy-free. Just use dairy-free cheese for toppings.

Q: Can I use almond or coconut flour instead?
Not in this recipe—they behave differently. Use a gluten-free all-purpose blend for the right texture.
