Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + standing Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 6 Servings
20 20 40

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 to 1-1/3 cups brown rice flour
  • Pizza toppings of your choice

Directions

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the tapioca flour, milk powder, xanthan gum, gelatin, Italian seasoning, vinegar, oil, salt, sugar and 2/3 cup brown rice flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining brown rice flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  • On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Add toppings of your choice. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and toppings are lightly browned and heated through. Yield: 6 servings.

This crust turned out great! I only modified the recipe slightly, I used half brown rice flour and half garfava flour, and took the advice of another review and let it rest for about 30 minutes instead of 10. When I worked with the dough I first scraped down the sides of the bowl, oiled my hands and patted it into a ball. Then I rolled it out on parchment and transferred the parchment to a preheated baking stone after it rested. Working with GF dough can be tricky as they almost always are soft and sticky, floured surface or floured hands just don't seem to work for me. I always turn out dough right onto parchment and keep my hands and rolling pin oiled and have no problems. Other than those few things no changes were necessary! Nobody even missed the wheat or thought to ask if it was GF ;) you KNOW it's good when nobody notices. Thanks for this one, it's a keeper!

Unfortunately my son and I much like babysk8er can't have dairy. Is there a substitute for it in pizza crusts as it appears to be in most?

The first time I made this it was a bit difficult to work with and the dough would crack on me, either while moving it to the pan or while it was pre baking. The texture of it also was a bit gritty, though it tasted pretty good. After making it again I found it needed to rest a lot longer than 10 minutes before it was really ready to bake. More like 30min, after that it looked and felt a lot more like regular dough and it was much easier to handle. After it was done baking, that gritty texture had gone away and it tasted just like "the real thing". In the end it is a definite keeper and super easy to put together.

I have not made this. I am the only one who eats it. Can you freeze this?

for the person who asks to replace the yeast and powdered milk, the yeast one was answered but the milk one wasnt so here:

there is a soy/rice milk powder that is called Better Than Milk Soy milk powder, or the one that comes in rice milk. that should do the trick.

I made this into a thin crust and a thicker crust. Both turned out well. I also added 1/2 tsp pectin. I rolled my crust out on the pan so I don't have to transfer from the counter. I put parchment on top and quickly roll it out. I omit the Italian seasoning and add a little garlic powder instead. The flavor is great. I mix all the dry ingredients (except the yeast) together and store them in a Labeled ziploc bag so when it's pizza night it is quick and easy. Thanks so much for a great recipe that will save me $$$ on ordering premade crusts!

I use this recipe at least once a week! my family was so excited to have pizza back in our diet... & it is so versatile! Thanks

We've tried every gluten free/egg free pizza we can find at the grocery and natural food stores and this wins by a mile! In fact, my husband who is not on a restricted diet loves it as well. The crust is so flavorful! I still am trying to figure out how to transfer the rolled dough on the cookie sheet without breaking it. Our kids love it too! Thanks for this recipe!

Omit the Italian seasoning. Just don;t like it in crsusts.

For the tapioca flour tapioca starch is the same thing. To sub for the milk powder any milk alternative powder such as Better than milk or just add more tapioca flour. Also could use potato starch (not flour).

Yeast Substitute

Yeast Substitute

A great substitute for those who are yeast intolerant.

Ingredients:

Baking soda (as fresh as possible)

Lemon juice

Directions:

Follow recipe instructions as directed. To substitute the yeast, take the amount of yeast called for and add in equal parts the baking soda and lemon juice. (eg. 1 Tbsp of yeast will equal 1/2 Tbsp of baking soda and 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice). Omit the rise time in the your recipe when using this yeast substitute for the dough does not need time to rise. Make sure the yeast substitute is the last ingredient you add in order for the reaction to properly work. Bake recipe as directed.
