Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free flour
  • 2 TBS nonfat dry powdered milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water (lukewarm)
  • 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 TBS honey
  • 2 TBS olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Put the flour, milk, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a bowl to whisk together. Then make a hole in the middle of your flour mixture big enough to hold a cup of water.
  • Pour water into the flour hole. Sprinkle yeast over the water as evenly as possible. Evenly drizzle the honey over the yeast. Wait a few minutes before dripping the oil over the yeast mixture. Set aside for about 30 minutes until it is bubbly. If the yeast is having a hard time activating, you may stir the yeast.
  • Combine the two mixtures with a blender on medium high speed for about 4 minutes. The dough will be very sticky. Scrape the sides of the bowl to form a ball. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Drizzle 2 TBS oil into the center of a greased baking sheet and thoroughly coat the sheet (this helps give the pizza a crispy bottom). Scoop the dough and place in the center of your baking sheet. Using your fingers, start at the center of the dough and work your way outwards.* Let the pizza dough rest for about 15 minutes and preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Place pizza on the lower rack of the oven to precook for about 8 minutes.
  • Remove crust from the oven and cover with your favorite toppings. Return to the oven to continue baking for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the toppings. Remove from the oven and ENJOY!

Notes

*The dough still will be very sticky which makes spreading out the dough a bit of a challenge. Try wetting your fingers with the olive oil already on your baking sheet. Sprinkling flour on the top of your dough really helps as well.
