This gluten-free pizza dough recipe delivers a crispy outside and stretchy inside, mimicking traditional pizza dough with simple ingredients and an easy 3-step method.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (300 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend with xanthan gum
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 ¼ tsp (7 g) active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp (6 g) salt
  • Optional: 2 tbsp (16 g) cornstarch or potato starch

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast (5-7 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine warm water (110°F / 43°C), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently with a whisk or fork. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
  2. Mix the dough (5 minutes): Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Slowly stir in gluten-free flour blend and optional starch, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Rest the dough (20 minutes): Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough: Lightly oil your hands and a clean work surface. Gently pull and stretch the dough into a 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) diameter pizza shape. Use oiled or wet hands if sticky.
  5. Preheat the oven: Set oven to 475°F (245°C) and place pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for 30 minutes.
  6. Bake the crust (8-10 minutes): Transfer shaped dough on parchment paper to the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp edges appear.
  7. Add toppings and finish baking (7-10 minutes): Remove crust, add toppings, and return to oven until cheese is bubbly and crust is deeply golden and crispy.

Notes

If dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate for 10 minutes before shaping. Preheat pizza stone or baking sheet thoroughly for best crispiness. Use oiled or wet hands to shape dough to avoid adding extra flour. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust crisp.
