I love pizza but since going gluten-free, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen to make the perfect gluten-free pizza dough. Depending on your food sensitivities or allergies, you can mix your own gluten-free flours yourself, or buy a mix from the store or bulk food store.

Here is my recipe for gluten-free pizza dough.

Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

Ingredients

1.5 cups gluten-free flour
pinch of xantham gum
2/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Extra warm water and olive oil

Directions

In a small bowl, sprinkle active dry yeast on top of warm water with a pinch of sugar and set aside in a warm oven for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, add gluten-free flour, salt and olive oil. Add yeast water mixture and mix with hands until dough forms. Form into a ball, sprinkle some olive oil on top and place in warm oven with a tea cloth covering it.

Lightly grease wax paper. Place dough in the centre. Lightly grease the top of the dough. Add a piece of wax paper on top. Roll out dough to desired thickness.

Grease pan. Gently place the dough into the pan and spread dough with fingers to reach the edges of the pan. Add toppings.

Hamilton Beach’s Pizza Maker is a handy appliance that rotates to give you perfect crispy pizza. You can also use the Pizza Maker for making quesadillas, cooking 12” frozen pizzas, appetizers or spiral Greek pitas… spanakopita and tiropita that I can pick up at a local store when the kids have a craving. It can cook to 40 per cent faster and is up to 52 per cent more energy efficient than your regular kitchen oven.

The Pizza Maker features a 30-minute timer with auto shutoff and a viewing window so your kids can watch the food as it cooks.  There is no preheating required – just pop your pizza or other food in the pan, plug in and turn out!.

I turned on the pizza maker for about 30 minutes to cook this gluten-free crust.  The pizza came out so crispy at the bottom, which is how I prefer my pizza.

Bon Appetit!
