Equipment

  • 1 Medium Freezer Baggie

Ingredients

Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix

  • 2 ¾ cups Caputo Gluten Free Flour 420 Grams
  • 2 teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder

To Use the Mix:

  • 1 ⅓ cup Very Warm - not hot - Water
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Cooking Spray I use olive oil spray

Pizza Assembly:

  • Cornmeal optional
  • Sesame Seeds optional
  • ¾ - 1 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 2 ½ cups Mozzarella
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix

  • Label a medium sized freezer baggie with “Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix”, the ingredients under “To Use the Mix”, and any of the directions you’ll want to have on hand.
  • Measure the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and baking powder into the baggie. Seal, shake to combine, and allow to settle for a few seconds.
  • Re-open the baggie, gently press out any excess air and re-seal. Store in a cool, dark, DRY place until ready to use.

To Use the Mix:

  • Dump the mix into a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Add the warm water and olive oil, stir well with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to combine.
  • Dump dough out onto a floured surface, knead until soft and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. (Alternatively, knead together by hand, then transfer dough to the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 3 minutes, or until dough is smooth).
  • You want the dough smooth, but just very slightly sticky. If the dough isn’t a little sticky, add a little water, and knead it in. If it’s TOO sticky, add a small amount of the caputo flour.
  • Once dough is fully kneaded, remove it from the bowl, and spray the bowl with nonstick spray. Place the ball of dough back in the bowl, cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap, and let the dough rest in a warm place for 1 hour.

Assemble and Bake the Gluten Free Pizza

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, set an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Generously spray a pizza pan or large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle with some cornmeal, if desired.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the bowl, punch the dough down one more time.
  • On a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough out into a 13-14” round circle, transfer the dough disc to the prepared baking pan.
  • Spray the whole crust with olive oil spray, sprinkle the outer edge with sesame seeds, if you like.
  • Allow to rise for another 10 minutes in a warm place.
  • Spread pizza sauce over surface of the dough, then top with shredded mozzarella and your choice of toppings.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. If you’d like some extra browning on the pizza, you can broil it for couple minutes - just keep an eye on it.
  • Cut pizza into slices and serve hot!

Notes

Once cooled to room temperature, leftover pizza slices can be wrapped in plastic wrap - or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Best served reheated. We like to microwave it for 30 seconds or so to get the chill off it, then finish in the air fryer (375F) for a few minutes to crisp it up.
