Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free pizza flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water plus 2 tablespoons
  • olive oil for brushing on top

Instructions

  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Form a well and add the water to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix everything to form a rough dough.
  • Knead the dough inside the bowl until it is smooth.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil to the bowl and spread it over the dough.
  • Cover and let the dough rest for 1 hour to rise at room temperature and then an additional 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Roll out the dough into an even circle directly on your pizza pan or stone.
  • The pizza should be about 12” in diameter. Push the edges of the dough to form a thicker crust, or roll it out even more for a thin and crispy crust.
  • Add your favorite toppings, then bake at 500°F for 14 to 16 minutes.

Notes

Yield: 1 pizza, about 12”
Flour Note: I tested this recipe with King Arthur ‘00’ Neapolitan-Style Gluten-Free Pizza Flour. A standard gluten-free flour blend would not work because this blend includes psyllium fiber, inactive yeast, and xanthan gum.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftover gluten-free pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Reheat leftover pizza in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes. 
Equipment: If you don’t have a pizza pan or stone, you can also use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
