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.

We made this tonight for the first time and the kids loved it! We have only 2 members of the family that are gluten free, but everyone said it was the best we had made so far. I did substitute an egg for the gelatin as the other reviewers suggested and it turned out soft on the inside and crusty on the outside! I didn't have any dairy free powdered milk so I substituted part of the warm water with warm rice milk. It tasted great! We also had to double the recipe to feed our 6 person family. I will definitely be keeping this recipe and using it frequently. Thank you!

YES!! Finally a GF pizza crust I like. The only change I made is I used buttermilk powder instead of dry milk and also an egg instead of the gelatin because thats what I had on hand. Turned out great, even my son who isn't crazy about GF foods loved it!

Thanks for a great recipe.

I didn't have gelatin the first time I made this dough, so I added an egg. It turned out very well. I was pleased with how it rolled out. The second time I made this dough I added the gelatin and it didn't turn out as well. It was tough to work with and dry even though I added a little more water. It seems that the wet to dry ingredient ratio is wrong. I will make this again, but with the egg instead of the gelatin.

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.
