This Gluten Free Pizza Dough is the perfect one! It does not require kneading, is wonderfully chewy, and is quite simple to produce. In addition, it's also totally freezer-friendly! You may store this crust for rapid dinners all week long!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 ½ cups Gluten-free, all-purpose baking flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon White sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vinegar/apple cider
Instructions
- Warm the water using the microwave for 30 seconds, till it reaches an approximate temperature of 110–115 degrees F. It has to be warm enough to stimulate the yeast, but not so hot that it kills the yeast.
- Pour one packet of yeast and the sugar, mix properly, and leave for five minutes.
- At the same time, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix them with a spatula.
- Beat them together speedily with your hand: egg, vinegar, olive oil, and yeast water mix.
- Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they form a dough-like mass; it's going to be sticky at this point.
- To give it to rise, cover with some plastic wrap and a towel, and place at a warm location for one hour. It will be perfect if you place it in the oven as I do.
- After an hour, get the oven to 425 degrees and allow the dough to chill in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes. Rolling out thus becomes simpler.
- Spread the dough onto a coated sheet of baking parchment and use a few extra tablespoons of flour to form it into a smooth ball.
- Use just enough flour to form a ball and make the dough easier to work with; avoid using too much.
- Now roll the dough with a rolling pin. You may choose one larger pizza or two smaller ones if you prefer a thinner crust. It depends on your preference.
- Brush the top with olive oil and bake for about 12 minutes.
- Take it out of the oven, cover it with sauce and the toppings of your choice, then bake for a further 8 to 12 minutes. You can bake it for an extended period if you want it crispier or a shorter time if you want it doughier.
- From the oven, give it a few minutes to cool, then cut into slices and relish!
