GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST OR FLATBREAD
This recipe is for a crust that can be used for pizza or flatbreads. After 2 years of being GF, this is the best pizza crust/flatbread recipe I have. It is based on trial and error in an effort to improve other recipes. My kids say this is better than our homemade wheat flour crusts.

Steps:
- Whisk water and sugar together in a bowl. Whisk in yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine gluten-free flour, rice flour, Italian seasoning, xanthan gum, gelatin, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk vinegar and olive oil into the yeast mixture; pour over flour mixture. Mix on high speed until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top; smooth out dough to fill the baking sheet. Let dough rest, about 10 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dough puffs up, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper off the top. Continue baking until dough is golden brown and edges are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST
Pizza. Need I say more. You don't need gluten for good pizza. This is gluten-free pizza.

Steps:
- Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour mix, yeast, psyllium, and salt. Pour this mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Finishing the dough: With the stand mixer running on low, add the olive oil, then the egg. Slowly, pour in the water. Here's the important part: gluten-free pizza dough will not look the same as gluten dough. It will be far wetter, even a little like pancake batter. As you pour the water, look for the dough to come together around the paddle. However, when your turn off the mixer, the dough should slump off the paddle immediately.
- Letting the dough rise: Scrape the pizza dough into a large greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and set the bowl in a warm place. Gluten-free dough does not rise as much as gluten dough. Instead, you are looking for the dough to hydrate fully and increase in size by about one-third. When the dough has risen a bit and has the texture of traditional dough, about 1 1/2 hours, you're ready to bake.
- Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 500 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone - and we recommend you do - put it in the oven now.
- If you own a pizza peel, lay down a piece of parchment paper on it now. If you don't own one, put the parchment paper on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Put the dough down on the parchment paper then top it with another one the same size. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough slowly and evenly. You want a pizza dough about 12 inches in diameter. Take the top piece of parchment paper off the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle some olive oil over the top of the dough. Bake the dough in the oven until the edges are starting to brown and crisp and the top of the pizza is a little firm to the touch, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Pull out the pizza dough and top with whatever toppings you desire.
- Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.
GLUTEN-FREE CHEESE AND HERB PIZZA CRUST

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 15-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
- Stir all-purpose baking flour, garbanzo bean flour, cornstarch, tapioca starch, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, xanthan gum, Italian seasoning, oregano, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
- Dissolve 1 teaspoon of white sugar in lukewarm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top, and set aside until foamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Beat egg in a separate bowl with olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and garlic until smooth. Whisk yeast mixture into egg mixture and stir in flour mixture until no dry lumps remain. Press dough into prepared pan, leaving outer edge slightly thicker than the center.
- Cook in preheated oven until dough has risen and slightly firmed, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once topped with your favorite toppings, continue baking at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) until the crust is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove pizza from pan and cook directly on the oven rack for 5 minutes to crisp crust, if desired.

PATRICK'S GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST
After about 3 years of experimentation and countless pizza dough recipes and big-name dough mixes, this is the closest I have come to real pizza dough. This recipe will yield two 16-inch pizzas. Remove baked crusts from the oven and top as desired; place back in the oven for approximately 15 minutes. I did not include the ingredients for the toppings as that is very subjective based on your preferences.

You can add garlic, oregano, basil or parmesan cheese to dry ingredients, to make a flavored crust, and top with your favorite pizza toppings. Prep time includes rising time. Although spelt flour does have gluten in it, it is used in many gluten free recipes since people with wheat allergies can usually tolerate spelt flour.

GLUTEN FREE ZUCCHINI CRUST PIZZA (DELICIOUS!)
I got this from Whole Approach.com, submitted by Ruth Denomme. The only thing I changed was using pizza sauce instead of the tomatoes. Even the zucchini haters liked it and it tastes like a regular pizza crust. We did have to eat it with a fork though, bcz the crust isn't as firm as regular crust.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA CRUST WITH QUINOA FLOUR RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by pattie_d
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Start by warming your water, add your yeast and your salt, mix everything together, and then add your psyllium husk into the mixture, and leave everything to sit for about ten minutes. After that take your flour and mix it with the wet mixture, start kneading your dough and do it for about 2 minutes, then add your oil, knead again for a little while until you have formed a ball out of it, after that put your dough into a warm and dark place to rise. When it has doubled in size spread it onto your pizza tray, you can spread it by hand or with a rolling pin, whatever works for you, pat it a little bit after you have stretched it and start applying your toppings. Press it, so that the air comes out of it. Add some flour on top of it and flatten it with your hands. When it is the shape and thickness you want, place it on top of a pizza stone (highly recommended) or a baking tray lined with baking paper. Add the tomato sauce and the toppings you like, I often add some balsamic vinegar, salt and black pepper to the tomato paste. I also like to add a small layer of parmesan on top of the tomato paste. Some tomatoes and some salami Finally the pizza is topped with some mozzarella and black pepper. Bake the pizza at 400 F for 20-40 minutes, the time differs so much because it depends on the thickness of the crust and on your oven. Keep an eye on the pizza while it is baking.
Tips:
- Use a variety of gluten-free flours to create a more flavorful and textured crust. Some good options include almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and brown rice flour.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Too much or too little of any one ingredient can affect the texture and flavor of the crust.
- If you are using a food processor to mix your dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the dough tough.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly greased rolling pin to prevent sticking. You can also use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll out the dough.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pizza. This will help to ensure that the crust is crispy.
- Watch the pizza closely while it is baking. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
Gluten-free pizza crusts can be just as delicious and satisfying as traditional pizza crusts. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a gluten-free pizza crust that your whole family will enjoy.
