Ingredients
- 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups Warm water (95-110°F)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, and kosher salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, honey (or maple syrup), and olive oil. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a sturdy spatula or your hands, mix until a sticky dough forms. It should hold together but still be slightly soft and tacky.
Step 4
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours to allow it to rise slightly.
Step 5
After rising, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well. If not, lightly oil or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Dust your hands and a clean work surface lightly with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out and gently shape it into a boule (a round, slightly flattened ball about 10 inches in diameter).
Step 7
If using a pizza stone, transfer the boule to a piece of parchment paper for easy sliding. Otherwise, place it directly on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
With a sharp knife, slash an ‘X’ or decorative cuts into the top of the dough to allow steam to escape and to create a rustic look.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch. The dough should sound hollow when tapped underneath.
Step 10
Allow the boule to cool slightly before slicing. Add your desired pizza toppings, return to the oven, and bake until the toppings are cooked and bubbly, usually 5-8 additional minutes.
Step 11
Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade gluten-free pizza on a crusty boule base!
