Ingredients
3 Cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (with xanthan gum)
1.5 Cups Warm Water (105-110°F)
1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
1 Tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
0.5 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Combine the warm water, honey, and yeast in a mixing bowl and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until a foamy layer forms
- Whisk the olive oil and apple cider vinegar into the activated yeast mixture
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and garlic powder
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a sturdy spoon or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until the dough is smooth
- Cover the bowl with a warm, damp cloth and let the dough rise in a draft-free spot for 30 to 45 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats
- Divide the risen dough into two equal portions
- Place the dough on parchment paper and use oiled hands to press it outward from the center into a circle about a quarter-inch thick
- Transfer the parchment and dough to the hot baking stone or pan and pre-bake the crust alone for 8 to 10 minutes
- Remove the crust, add your desired sauce and toppings, and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden and cheese is bubbling
- Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the structure to set
Notes
Always weigh your flour with a kitchen scale for the most consistent results.
The apple cider vinegar is critical as the acidity helps the yeast work better in gluten-free dough.
To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in a skillet or oven at 375°F to maintain the crispy texture; avoid the microwave.
If the dough is too sticky, ensure your hands are generously oiled during the shaping process.
