THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA CRUST RECIPE EVER (DAIRY-FREE + EGG-FREE)

Steps:

• In a glass measuring cup, combine warm water, cane sugar, and yeast. Quickly stir and leave it to sit for 5 minutes until it's frothy and foamy.
• In stand mixer, combine gluten free flour flour, salt, and xanthan gum (yup, extra from what's already in the mix), giving it a quick stir.
• Add oil and yeast mixture to dry ingredients and stir on low until it starts to combine.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then beat on medium-high for 3 minutes. Beating the xanthan gum helps with elasticity, which is very important for soft, chewy gluten-free pizza crust! The dough will be pretty wet and sticky, but don't worry. It's very different from regular dough until you bake it! Then it's magic.
• Leave dough in the bowl and cover with a tea towel to rise for 25-30 minutes. When you scrape the top of the dough, it should have lots of little air pockets.
• Preheat oven to 400 degree F. If using silicone mats, put the pans you'll be using in the oven. If not, lightly grease the pizza pans and dust with corn meal and tapioca starch. #nosoggybottom
• If using, take two silicone baking mats and lightly dust them with corn meal and tapioca starch, if desired.
• Scoop half of the pizza dough onto the center of the prepared silicone mat or pan.
• Wet your hands with water and press the dough into circle or rectangle. It's OK for it to be thin. I usually make mine about ¼- ½ inch thick.
• Continue wetting hands and pressing out dough until desired thickness and size is reached. Smooth with wet hands.
• Repeat with the other half of the pizza dough.
• Pull out one hot pan from the oven and very carefully slide the silicone mat onto the sheet and then into the oven. Repeat.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is opaque and dry to the touch.
• Add desired toppings, while cranking the oven temp up to 450 degrees F. Put topped pizzas back in the oven for 5-8 minutes
• If you like, crank the oven again to broil and broil pizzas until tops are to your liking. I really like those dark brown spots on my cheese, so I broil ours for about 4 minutes. But keep an eye on it! Broilers are finicky ad varying. So, check it every minute, at least! It can get burned if you try to wash a bowl right now. Seriously. Ask me how I know.
• Take pizzas out and let them cool on the pans for 5 minutes so you don't burn your face off.
• Enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Form the dough into two or four balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

• use hands to spread, sprinkling flour ontop of dough to prevent sticking.
• thinner crust will result in crispier crust.
• Cook crust at 425 for 20 minutes on a stone. For a regular metal sheet you'll have to play with it, but in my experience i would try 375 for same time. you want the crust to be slightly browned around the edges and bottom to prevent a "soggy" crust in final product.
• once crust is pre-cooked, top, bake until cheese is golden brown. cool & enjoy!

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour mix, yeast, psyllium, and salt. Pour this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Finishing the dough: With the stand mixer running on low, add the olive oil, then the egg. Slowly, pour in the water. Here's the important part: gluten-free pizza dough will not look the same as gluten dough. It will be far wetter, even a little like pancake batter. As you pour the water, look for the dough to come together around the paddle. However, when your turn off the mixer, the dough should slump off the paddle immediately.
• Letting the dough rise: Scrape the pizza dough into a large greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and set the bowl in a warm place. Gluten-free dough does not rise as much as gluten dough. Instead, you are looking for the dough to hydrate fully and increase in size by about one-third. When the dough has risen a bit and has the texture of traditional dough, about 1 1/2 hours, you're ready to bake.
• Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone - and we recommend you do - put it in the oven now.
• If you own a pizza peel, lay down a piece of parchment paper on it now. If you don't own one, put the parchment paper on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Put the dough down on the parchment paper then top it with another one the same size. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough slowly and evenly. You want a pizza dough about 12 inches in diameter. Take the top piece of parchment paper off the pizza dough.
• Sprinkle some olive oil over the top of the dough. Bake the dough in the oven until the edges are starting to brown and crisp and the top of the pizza is a little firm to the touch, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pull out the pizza dough and top with whatever toppings you desire.
• Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oven to 400 F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with gluten-free cornmeal.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour mix, tapioca flour, buttermilk powder, agar-agar. salt, xanthan gum, and yeast until thoroughly mixed.
• Add sugar, oil, and vinegar. Gradually add the water.
• Mix on high speed with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Scrape the thick dough onto a large clean surface liberally sprinkled with tapioca flour. Work enough tapioca flour into the dough so that it can be shaped into a large ball. The key to shaping this dough is to continue to sprinkle the work surface and the dough with tapioca flour.
• With a large knife, cut the dough in half to make two medium pizzas.
• With a rolling pin, shape each piece into a circle, making sure to sprinkle enough tapioca flour on the dough and the work surface to prevent it from sticking. Roll thin for New York-style pizzas or thick for Chicago deep-dish style.
• Carefully place one prepared pizza crust on baking sheet or pizza stone (see tips) sprinkled with cornmeal. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the dough is firm. This is called parbaking . Repeat with second pizza.
• Top pizzas with your favorite ingredients and bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until done. Or cool parbaked crusts, wrap and freeze for later use. Note: Always make sure your work surfaces, utensils, pans and tools are free of gluten. Always read product labels. Manufacturers can change product formulations without notice. When in doubt, do not buy or use a product before contacting the manufacturer for verification that the product is free of gluten. Edited by Stephanie Kirkos
