Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (if not included in the flour blend)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 quarters-cup Warm water (approximately 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if using), instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix the ingredients together with a sturdy spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until a sticky dough forms.
Use a silicone spatula or your hands (lightly oiled) to shape the dough into a smooth ball. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky but manageable.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. The dough will puff up slightly but may not double in size like traditional dough.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well (this helps create a crispy crust).
Lay a piece of parchment paper on your work surface and lightly dust it with gluten-free flour. Place the dough on the parchment and use your hands or a rolling pin to shape it into a pizza crust about 1/4-inch thick. Press gently to create a slight edge around the perimeter if desired.
Transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Par-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes to set it slightly. Remove from the oven and add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, slice, and enjoy your gluten-free pizza!
