Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups brown rice flour (195g)
- ½ cup tapioca starch (60g)
- ½ cup almond flour (50g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water (180ml)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place your pizza stone inside if you have one. Preheating takes about 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together brown rice flour, tapioca starch, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Stir in apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and warm water to the dry mix until a sticky dough forms. Adjust with water or flour if needed.
- Place the dough onto parchment paper on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Shape into a 10-inch (25cm) round about ¼ inch (6mm) thick using oiled hands or a rolling pin.
- Bake the crust on the pizza stone or baking sheet for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and crust feels firm.
- Remove crust from oven, add toppings, then return to oven for another 10-12 minutes until cheese melts and toppings are cooked.
Notes
Preheat oven and pizza stone for best crispness. If crust bubbles too much during first bake, prick with fork to release steam. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Let crust cool briefly before slicing. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. For nut allergies, substitute almond flour with additional brown rice or oat flour.
