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.

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!

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.

Gluten free pizza crust is one we can use many times and one we like a lot. It's a good pizza with any toppings we want and it works beautifully for my family. It's a keeper, for sure. As for the tapioca flour and nonfat dry milk powder, that I cannot replace as I don't know what would cover that.

Does anyone know what would happen if I did not add yeast nor powdered milk to this? Is there anything I can substitute? I have allergies to both.
