This gluten-free pizza dough recipe is easy to make, endlessly customizable, and delivers a chewy, satisfying texture that pizza lovers crave.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (around 110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • Optional: Cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) of active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (315 g) of gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the activated yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your hands with gluten-free flour and knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes until smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
  5. Proof the Dough: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm spot. It should slightly rise but won’t double like regular dough.
  6. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
  7. Roll Out the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper lightly dusted with gluten-free flour or cornmeal. Roll it out into your desired thickness (about ¼ inch works best).
  8. Add Toppings: Transfer the rolled-out dough to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Add your favorite toppings—cheese, veggies, meats, or sauces.
  9. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly.
  10. Slice & Serve: Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t skip the proofing step to develop flavor and improve texture.’, ‘Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust.’, ‘Work quickly as gluten-free dough can dry out fast.’, ‘Avoid overloading the pizza with toppings to prevent weighing down the crust.’, ‘Experiment with dough thickness for your preferred crust style.’]
