Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 280 g all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (2 cups; a sturdy blend works best)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
- 36 g tapioca starch/flour (¼ cup)
- 6 g instant yeast (2 teaspoons)
- 6 g granulated sugar (1 ½ teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 270 g warm water (9.5 oz; about 35°C/95°F)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Cooking oil spray (for hands and dough)
- Pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings as desired
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, tapioca starch, instant yeast, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
- Add salt and whisk again until mixed.
- Pour in warm water and olive oil. Mix on medium speed until dough starts coming together.
- Increase speed to high and mix for about 2 minutes until dough is soft and sticky.
- Transfer dough to lightly oiled container with lid and refrigerate 1–3 hours for easier handling.
- Preheat oven to 232°C/450°F with a pizza stone or overturned baking sheet inside.
- Divide dough into 2 portions. Lightly oil hands, place dough on parchment, and press into a 12-inch (30 cm) round. Re-oil hands as needed.
- Create slightly raised edges. Spray lightly with oil.
- Add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Slide pizza (on parchment) onto hot stone or sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes until bottom is crisp, edges lightly browned, and cheese bubbles.
- Let pizza rest a couple minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Crispier bottom: Bake 1–2 minutes longer or briefly broil.
- Herb crust: Add 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning to dry ingredients.
- Garlic-oil finish: Brush edges with olive oil mixed with garlic powder and dried herbs after baking.
- Dairy-free topping: Use dairy-free cheese and toppings.
- Single pizza: Halve all ingredients to make one 12-inch pizza.
