Gluten Free Pizza Dough

Prep Time2 hours
Total Time2 hours
Servings: 1 pizza crust
Author: Just As Good Gluten Free

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon guar or xanthan gum omit if in blend
  • 1 Tbs white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water about 110 degrees F
  • 1 ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 Tbs olive oil for dough
  • 2 Tbs olive oil for pan

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, combine gluten free flour, guar gum, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate container (that can hold at least 2 cups to allow for growth) place water, yeast, and ½ cup of the flour mixture. Stir until most clumps are gone. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. You should notice it rise and bubble up.
  • Place the yeast mixture in the stand mixer with the flour and add 2 Tbs olive oil. Stir for 2-3 minutes until well combined. Using a spatula, scrap the sides of the bowl and form a ball in the middle (if you have problems with the dough sticking to the spatula slightly get the spatula wet first). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and allow the dough to sit for 1 hour. It will get close to doubling in size, but don't worry if it doesn't.
  • Preheat oven 425 degrees F. Spread 2 Tbs olive oil over the bottom of your pizza pan. I use an 11 ½ x 8 cookie sheet as I like my crust a little thicker. I've also used a round 14 inch pan which results in a slightly thinner crust. Using a spatula (get it wet if needed) evenly spread the pizza dough over the pan. Allow the dough to sit and rise for another 15-20 minutes in the pan.
  • Par bake the dough for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and either place in the freezer for a later use, or cover with desired toppings. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes after the toppings are on.
