Description

This gluten free pizza dough recipe is easy to make, requires no kneading, and yields a perfectly chewy crust that’s ideal for homemade pizzas. The dough rises for an hour, then is rolled out and baked, making it a great base for your favorite toppings. Plus, the crust can be frozen for convenient meals throughout the week.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon white or apple cider vinegar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: Microwave the water for about 30 seconds until it is between 110-115°F to avoid killing the yeast. Stir in the sugar and yeast, then let it sit for 5 minutes to activate.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, vinegar, olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture until well combined.
  4. Make Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Let Dough Rise: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a towel. Place it in a warm spot, such as inside the oven with just the light on, for 1 hour to rise.
  6. Preheat and Chill Dough: After rising, preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up, which helps with rolling.
  7. Knead and Roll Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Knead in 1-2 tablespoons more flour until it forms a smooth, less sticky ball. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a roughly 12-inch circle, adjusting thickness based on preference.
  8. First Bake: Brush the top of the dough generously with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes to partially cook the crust.
  9. Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the crust, spread your favorite sauce and toppings, then bake for an additional 8-12 minutes. Adjust baking time depending on desired crispiness.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Slice and enjoy your fresh gluten free pizza!

Notes

  • Use gluten free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum for best results.
  • Do not overheat water to preserve yeast activity.
  • Adjust flour quantity slightly when kneading to avoid too sticky dough.
  • Dough can be frozen after rising for convenient future use.
  • Oven temperature and baking times may vary depending on your oven model.
