Gluten Free Pizza Dough Recipes

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to room temperature. If warming egg whites, place whole eggs in a bowl of very warm water for a few minutes while gathering other ingredients.
• (From scratch: whisk together dry ingredients except yeast; set aside.)
• In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, olive oil, cider vinegar and water.
• Using a stand mixer (preferably), slowly add in the dry ingredient mix with yeast. Beat for 2-3 minutes on high to get a firm but very sticky dough that can still be spread; if dough is tight or resistant to spreading out on the pan, mix an extra 2-3 tablespoons of warm water into the dough until absorbed.(Note: this recipe may be mixed by hand in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon - stir as long as you can!)
• Preheat oven with stone to 500°F (static)/475° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• Remove top parchment and transfer pizza to hot stone.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned, bubbled, and firm.
• Remove to spread warm sauce and toppings, then bake for 2 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375° F (static)/ 350° F (convection).
• Cover crust with oiled parchment. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm spot.
• After the crust has risen, bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust is risen and lightly browned.
• Spread with warm sauce and toppings (or if making focaccia, sprinkle fresh rosemary, sea salt or other toppings) and cook an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, if using.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Form the dough into two or four balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in 250ml warm water and the olive oil. Combine quickly with your hands, to create a thick, wet, paste-like texture, adding an extra 20ml warm water if the dough feels a little dry. Store in an airtight container or covered bowl in the fridge for up to 24 hours before using. Using the dough to make pizza? See the full recipe for gluten-free pizza.
