Here’s a simple, reliable gluten-free pizza recipe with a chewy center and crisp edges—no weird ingredients 🌱🍕
Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
Ingredients
1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum; e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar or honey
¾ tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
¾–1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
Instructions
Activate yeast
In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Mix dough
Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix well (the dough will be sticky—this is normal).
Rest
Cover and let rest 30–45 minutes in a warm spot. It won’t rise like wheat dough but should puff slightly.
Shape crust
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place dough on parchment paper, lightly oil your hands, and press into a thin round (about 10–12 inches).
Par-bake
Bake crust 8–10 minutes until set but not browned.
Add toppings
Sauce, cheese, toppings of choice.
Final bake
Return to oven for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is bubbly.
Quick Gluten-Free Pizza Sauce
½ cup crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste
Tips for Best Results
Use a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet for crispiness
Don’t overload toppings
Brush crust edges with olive oil before final bake
For extra chew, add 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (optional)
