Ingredients
– 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Creating the Best Gluten Free Pizza Dough is a simple process. Just follow these steps:
1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, salt, and any additional seasonings you desire.
3. Combine Mixtures: Once the yeast is activated, add the olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture. Stir well.
4. Make the Dough: Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. It should not be too sticky; if it is, add a bit more flour.
5. Knead the Dough: Lightly knead the dough in the bowl for about 1 minute until it’s smooth.
6. Let it Rest: Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. This helps to develop the flavor and texture.
7. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, make sure to place it in the oven while preheating.
8. Shape the Dough: After resting, place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to shape the dough into your preferred pizza size.
9. Par-Bake the Crust: Transfer the shaped dough (with the parchment) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
10. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven, and add your desired sauce and toppings.
11. Finish Baking: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the crust is golden.
