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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk to incorporate.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings (sauce, cheese, veggies, protein, etc.).
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free masterpiece!
