Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk to incorporate.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy spatula or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to mix until a sticky dough forms. The dough will be wetter than traditional pizza dough—that’s normal for gluten-free crusts.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes. This allows the yeast to activate and slightly rise.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.
After the dough has rested, lightly grease a sheet of parchment paper with olive oil. Transfer the dough onto the paper and use oiled hands or a spatula to spread it into your desired pizza shape (circle or rectangle). Aim for about 1/4 to 1/3-inch thick.
Slide the parchment paper and dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake the crust alone for 10 minutes to partially cook it.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, veggies, protein, etc.).
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free masterpiece!
