Description

This gluten-free pizza dough recipe offers a simple, delicious base for homemade pizzas without any wheat. Using gluten-free bread flour, golden caster sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and olive oil, the dough is easy to prepare and yields a thick, wet, paste-like texture perfect for creating crispy, flavorful pizzas. The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours to enhance flavor and convenience.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 400g gluten-free bread flour
  • 2 heaped tsp golden caster sugar
  • 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 1 heaped tsp xanthan gum

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 250ml warm water (plus an extra 20ml if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the gluten-free bread flour, golden caster sugar, gluten-free baking powder, fine salt, and xanthan gum to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry mixture, then pour in 250ml of warm water along with 5 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. Mix the Dough: Using your hands, quickly combine the ingredients to form a thick, wet, paste-like dough. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add an additional 20ml of warm water to reach the proper consistency.
  4. Rest and Store: Transfer the dough to an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow the dough to rest and improve texture before using it to make pizza.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to help activate the baking powder without killing any natural enzymes in the flour.
  • Refrigerating the dough for up to 24 hours enhances flavor and makes it easier to handle.
  • Xanthan gum is crucial as a binder to mimic gluten properties in this dough.
  • You can freeze the dough for up to one month for longer storage.
  • Before shaping the dough for pizza, lightly oil your hands or work surface to prevent sticking.
