Description

This gluten-free pizza dough recipe creates a thick, wet, and paste-like dough perfect for making delicious homemade gluten-free pizzas. The dough uses a blend of gluten-free bread flour, xanthan gum, and gluten-free baking powder to ensure a good texture and rise, while olive oil adds moisture and flavor. It can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, making it convenient for pizza nights.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free bread flour, golden caster sugar, gluten-free baking powder, fine salt, and xanthan gum thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in 250ml of warm water along with the olive oil.
  3. Combine dough: Using your hands, quickly mix the ingredients together to form a thick, wet, paste-like dough. If the dough feels too dry, add up to an extra 20ml of warm water to achieve the right consistency.
  4. Store the dough: Transfer the dough into an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly with cling film and refrigerate. Allow to rest for up to 24 hours before using to improve texture and flavor development.
  5. Ready to use: When ready, remove the dough from the fridge and proceed to roll out and top as desired to make your gluten-free pizza following your preferred pizza recipe instructions.

Notes

  • The dough can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly grease your hands with olive oil rather than adding extra flour.
  • Xanthan gum is essential in gluten-free baking to provide stretch and structure similar to gluten.
  • Use gluten-free bread flour for best results; other gluten-free flours may alter texture.
  • This dough recipe serves as a base; customize your toppings according to your preference.
