How to Make Gluten Free Pizza Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 15-inch round pizza pan or baking sheet with vegetable oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, ½ cup chickpea flour (chana flour), ¼ cup cornstarch, ¼ cup tapioca flour, 1 teaspoon xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine: 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
  4. In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar in ½ cup warm water. Add 1 teaspoon active dry yeast to the warm water and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  5. Gently whisk the yeast mixture into the egg-oil mixture.
  6. Gradually add half of the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter onto the prepared pizza pan and spread evenly, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker.
  9. Add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
