Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum, if not already included in the flour blend
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, such as oregano, basil, and thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • additional flour for dusting

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey (or maple syrup), and yeast. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), baking powder, salt, and dried Italian herbs.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  • Using a spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a small amount of warm water.
  • Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  • Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape on the prepared baking sheet. You can make a thin crust or a thicker crust, depending on your preference.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it is slightly golden and firm.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Add your desired pizza toppings, such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, and protein.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Finally, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • I recommend using Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur Flour gluten free flour for this pizza crust recipe.
  • If the pizza dough is too sticky, add slightly more gluten free flour.
  • If the pizza dough is too dry, add slightly more warm water.
  • Be sure to pre-bake the pizza crust before adding toppings.  This allows it to cook through in the center.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer.
  • The nutrition facts are for 1/6th of the pizza dough without toppings.
