A delicious and easy-to-make gluten-free pizza crust using King Arthur gluten-free flour blend. This crust is crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and perfect for your favorite pizza toppings.
1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 1/2 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the bowl and brushing
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients.
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, mix on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, until it has slightly puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using oiled hands or a spatula, gently spread and press the dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush the top of the dough lightly with olive oil.
Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and the crust is set.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and toppings are cooked.
Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve.
