    An easy recipe for homemade gluten-free pizza crust. Make your own gluten-free pizza with this thick and chewy gluten-free pizza crust that is also naturally dairy-free and vegan.

    Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

    Pizza is one of my all-time favorite things to eat! And, as most of you probably know, it’s really hard to find good gluten-free pizza whether it is a frozen gluten-free pizza or a pizza that is safe to eat from a restaurant. That’s why I decided to make my own homemade gluten-free pizza crust.

    One thing that most gluten-free pizzas have in common is their thin crusts. Oh, how I have missed thick pizza crusts like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns. (See I told you I love pizza!)

    So, I set out to make an easy gluten-free pizza dough recipe that would be a thick crust gluten-free pizza. No more thin and crunchy gluten-free pizzas for my family!

    Making your own gluten-free pizza crust only takes a few simple ingredients.  I bet you already have what you need already in your pantry! You can see just how easy it is to make a homemade gluten-free pizza crust in the recipe video.

    How To Make Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

    gluten-free pizza crust photo college for recipe steps 1-5

    • Preheat your oven to the proofing setting or to 200°F. Once it gets to 100°, turn off your oven.
    • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose gluten-free flour, instant yeast, gluten-free baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine the ingredients. (photo 1)
    • Warm the water to 110°-115°F. I microwave the water in a large glass measuring cup for 45 seconds. I also use a thermometer to check the temperature. If your water is too hot it will kill the yeast.
    • Add the honey (or pure maple syrup for vegan) to the warm water and stir until it is dissolved.
    • Pour the warm water and honey mixture into the gluten-free flour mixture and mix with your mixer on low. (I used my stand-up mixer with the paddle attachment). (photo 2)
    • Pour the olive oil and apple cider vinegar into the dough mixture and mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes, until the dough starts to form. The dough will be very sticky. (photo 3)
    • Place the pizza dough in a greased ovenproof bowl (I used olive oil cooking spray) and cover with plastic wrap. Cover the bowl with a towel and place in your warm oven for 30 minutes to rise. (photo 4 & 5)
    • Remove the dough from the oven and preheat the oven to 425° F. (photo 6)

    How To Make Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

    • Pour 1 tablespoon of gluten-free all-purpose flour onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Spread the flour into a circle the size of the pizza crust (15″).
    • Turn the bowl over on top of the floured parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gluten-free all-purpose flour on top of the dough. (photo 7)
    • Gently pat the circle in an outward motion. Work from the middle and push to spread the dough out to the edge to make a 15″ circle. Use your fingertips to press down into the dough to form the crust edge. Use your hands to finish shaping and rounding the edges. (photo 8)

    How To Make Gluten-Free Pizza

    • Place the pizza crust on the parchment paper on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. (photo 9)
    • Remove the pizza crust from the oven and top with the gluten-free pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. (photo 10)
    • Bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese, is nice and melted and the crust is golden brown. Allow the pizza to cool a little before slicing the pizza. Enjoy! (photo 11)
    • Store leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate.
    • Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave.

    Is Yeast Gluten-Free?

    Most yeast is gluten-free, but some kinds of yeast do contain gluten. The most common kinds of yeast used for baking, like baker’s yeast, active dry yeast, and instant yeast, are gluten-free.

    I use Fleshman’s Rapid Rise Yeast, and it is labeled gluten-free. Always check your labels.

    I have not tried this recipe with active yeast (I used instant yeast). If you want to use active yeast, you will need to proof the yeast first (like in the photo above) and you will need to double the rising time.

    Where Is The Best Place For Rising Gluten-Free Pizza Dough?

    Yeast pizza dough rises best in a warm location. My oven has a bread proofing mode and that is where I allow my pizza dough to rise. When the oven is set in bread proofing mode it is 100°F.

    If your oven does not have a proofing mode you can preheat the oven to 200°F. Once it gets to 100°, turn off your oven.

    I know that some people proof their dough ontop of their oven as they preheat it to 425°F. The pizza dough needs warmth to rise properly.

    Can I Freeze The Gluten-Free Pizza Dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the pizza dough. Just let it fully rise before you freeze it.

    Wrap the risen dough in plastic wrap and then place it in a plastic freezer bag. The dough can be frozen for up to three months. Thaw the dough in the refrigerator overnight before you use it.

    What Is The Best Type Of Sauce To Use To Make Gluten-Free Pizza?

    I recommend Prego gluten-free pizza sauce as it is labeled gluten-free. You can also use your favorite gluten-free Marina sauce.

    What Is The Best Type Of  Cheese To Use To Make Gluten-Free Pizza?

    My family likes the taste and flavor of mozzarella cheese. You can use shredded or thinly sliced.

    If you are dairy-free or Vegan I think the VioLife Just Like Mozzarella Shreds tastes and melts the best.

    How Can I Make The Pizza Crust Crispy?

    Place your pizza pan in the oven while it is heating up. After the pizza pan has been preheated place the pizza dough on it and bake the dough as directed in the recipe.

    Gluten-Free Flour

    I like baking with a cup for cup all-purpose gluten-free rice flour blend. A cup for cup rice flour blend is one that already has the starches and xanthan gum in it.

    Make sure not to add any extra xanthan gum to your flour if it already has it in it. If you do you will get gummy pizza dough!

    I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

    Can I Make This Pizza Crust With Almond Or Coconut Flour?

    No, but if you are looking for a recipe that uses almond flour try Wholesome Yum’s Paleo Low Carb Almond Flour Pizza Crust.

    Tips For Measuring Gluten-Free Flour

    The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup.  After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. Please do not scoop the flour out of the bag with your measuring cup or you could get more gluten-free flour than the recipe calls for. 

    Also, use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (not a pyrex liquid measuring cup).

    Dairy-Free And Vegan Cooking

    This gluten-free pizza crust recipe is naturally dairy-free and egg-free. So, that makes this both a dairy-free and gluten-free and gluten-free Vegan. Just substitute pure maple syrup or granulated sugar for the honey for a Vegan pizza crust.

    I use either Violife or  Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds in making my dairy-free and gluten-free pizza.

    Some of my favorite dairy-free alternatives that I like to cook with are unsweetened almond or unsweetened coconut milk. I also like baking with coconut oil or Smart Balance butter. 

    Easy Gluten-Free Pizza Crust

    If you are tired of thin and crunchy gluten-free pizza crusts, then I’ve got you friend! My gluten-free pizza crust recipe is super easy to make and requires no kneading.

    The pizza crust is thick, soft, and has just the right amount of chewiness. Making your own gluten-free pizza crust is so worth it! No more frozen gluten-free pizzas or overpriced pizzas from restaurants.

    If you are a pizza lover like me, you will love my recipe for easy gluten-free pizza crust.

      I’ve tried many GF pizza crust recipes. This one really rocks! The first time, I used instant yeast. Today, I used active yeast. I preferred the active yeast version better, but it is important to poof the yeast first in warmer-than-lukewarm water. I used a mini-roller to roll out the dough with Saran wrap on top of the dough so there’s no mess with handling the sticky dough. I plan to use this recipe next for flatbread with fig jam and goat cheese!

      Audry, I make my own flour blend with brn rice flour, tapioca and potato starch but no xanthan. How much xanthan would you suggest to add for this mix. Sometimes I just fudge it but it’s nice to hear a starting point first. Looking forward to trying this as I love so many of your recipies, thanks, Linda

        Hi Linda! The normal rule of thumb is to add 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup. The pizza dough needs a little bit more because the dough needs to strech. You could try and add 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of xanthan gum to the 2 1/2 cups of your blend. Please let me know how it turns out!

      Thank you for this recipe! I do not have a dough hook so I whisked by hand and expected the worst with a batter-like consistency after proofing. But, once I spread it out into two pizza circles on parchment and popped it in the oven it worked out beautifully! Very delicious, chewy, and a crispy crust. My first homemade pizza crust and I’m definitely adding this recipe to my dinner rotation 🙂

      Thank you so much for sharing this gf pizza dough recipe! Best gf pizza dough we have ever tried and we have tried quite a few!! It was also so easy to make. My hubby is so happy as pizza is one of his favourite foods and it’s been hard to find a great, easy to make recipe. He really liked how thick and chewy the crust was. He’s already looking forward to the next time I make it! I made it on a rectangle cookie sheet and I used Robin Hood All Purpose Gluten Free flour. I am looking forward to trying the focaccia bread recipe too. Thanks again!

      I can always count on you! Since I did not want to make 2 separate pizza crusts, a normal flour and GF one, I made 3 of these pizzas for everyone and they were DELICIOUS! Even my 17 year old son who does not have dietary issues preferred this pizza crust over the wheat flour ones I normally make. It’s a keeper!

      Honestly, this is the BEST gluten free recipe i have tried to date. I have been gluten free for 2 years now and this is the first thing i have made that made me feel like i was eating a normal wheat based pizza. I raised my pizza and gently ripped off my parchment paper when it was finished and left it in the oven for an extra 5 minutes to give it a slight crunch. Was perfect. Truly, bless you for this recipe.

        Hi Stu! Thank you so much for your kind words about my recipes. You can set your oven to the lowest temperature and once it reaches temperature, just turn it off. Yeast baking needs to have a warm place to rise. Some people also put the pan on top of the warm oven to rise. I have not tried this because my oven is inside the wall. Thanks for asking and I hope you enjoy the pizza!

      Thank you for this awesome recipe! Hands down best GF VG pizza crust. I’ve tried a few of them and nothing came close to authentic pizza texture and taste I enjoyed before I had to go GF. I didn’t have instant yeast so had to proof active dry yeast. I let it rise for a bit over an hour. May have been ready before then but I was prepping toppings. Made a buffalo “chicken” with cashew cheese and a veggie with packaged vg mozzarella shreds. Everyone was a fan, even the non GF carnivores! It’s on the menu again this week.

      I made 2 crusts from this recipe tonight. One with PC GF flour (a Canadian Brand) and one Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF flour. The PC brand dough was easier to work with and baked crust was fluffier. So for any Canadians reading this I would recommend PC GF All Purpose Flour! Thanks for this great recipe! I’m adding it to our meal planning app.

      This pizza crust is perfection! I’ve been gluten free for 6 years and haven’t had a decent pizza in that amount of time as well. This is hands down one of the best pizza crusts I’ve ever made. The dough is so simple to mix and I love that there is no kneading involved. The texture of the crust is amazing, light but a bit chewy and has a crunch…so similar to the real deal. )As a side note, I used Cup4Cup gluten free flour, its my favorite)
      I’m filing this recipe in my recipe binder and will definitely be making the focaccia bread. Off to look through the rest of your recipes to see what other gems I can find. Thank you so much for making pizza enjoyable again! 🙂

      I had doubled the crust recipe and used a recipe’s worth of crust for the breakfast pizza. The other recipe’s worth of crust I split into two smaller s’mores dessert pizzas. I mixed two cups of Graham cracker crumbs into the dough with some extra sugar, and they turned out great. Thank you!

      I bastardized this crust recipe so many different ways due to what I did and did not have on hand during a stay-at-home order, and the recipe was EXTREMELY forgiving of my substitutions. The kids declared it the best pizza we’ve ever made, and I’ll happily use this recipe again – I found the crumb much more pleasing than the typical gluten-based pizza crusts I am used to making. We made the crust for a breakfast pizza, and the texture lent itself beautifully for the style of crust I was hoping for.

      Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been searching for a good gluten/dairy/corn free pizza crust recipe for some time. This was absolutely delicious. I made a Margarita pizza and before I added the tomato and basil and Violife mozzarella cheese, I brushed the crust with olive oil and sprinkled it with a little salt and pepper. I topped the whole thing off with oregano and it was scrumptious. Will be trying some more of your recipes in the future!

        I love pizza and missed the taste of pizza hut and pizza club bases since being diagnosed with coeliac disease 2 years ago. Ready made bases just don’t taste right. I live in NZ and made the dough using Edmonds Gluten free plain flour. I couldn’t ‘pat’ the dough into a circle as the mixture was way too wet and sticky (maybe I left it to rise too long or because the yeast was a little expired) so just poured it on to a baking sheet, spread it out a bit and put it into the oven. It looked good after the initial bake so I put my toppings on and finished it off in the oven. It turned out great!!!! Was soft and chewy and crispy on the outside and tasted so good with my toppings – pizza sauce, buffalo mozzarella and basil pesto. Can’t wait to make pizza again!

      I finally tried this recipe and I will say at first I was a bit timid because the dough was sooo sticky! However I was impressed with the end results, it was similar to a deep dish pizza crust. Very delicious in fact! Thanks for the recipe. Definitely will try it again, but I will divide it into two to go for a thinner crust. Now on to your bread recipe!! Will keep you posted!

      I made this tonight and it was very good. I had a gf pizza the other day at Papa Murphy’s and this is so much better and easy to make. The only thing about it is that it should have cooked a little longer as it was a little doughy. Next time I thought I could add an extra 5 minutes to the baking. However, I read the review about the Detroit style pizza and thought I will try cooking it at 525 next time for 15 minutes on the bottom rack and see how that does. Other than that it was great! A little worried about the stickiness but, with the flour when you roll it out it makes it easy to work with.

I know I have found the ultimate best crust in this recipe. Made a gf pizza for myself and a regular pizza for my hubby. He liked the gf pizza so much better . Thank you . I now can enjoy homemade pizza. Yeah!!!!

      Thank you for this! I made it a few nights ago and was impressed. I used Krusteaz Gluten Free blend – it’s what I had in the pantry – and it never got past the “batter” stage and into the “dough” phase, even though I followed the recipe exactly. It puffed up more like bread. Still good, though! Next time, I think I’m going to add a bunch of herbs, though. I’m planning on making the focaccia bread version tonight. We’ll see how it goes!

      I made your pizza for dinner last night and it was so delicious. I was completely surprised that the crust didn’t have a rice flavor, nor was it too heavy. My hubby even enjoyed it. And since I usually freeze my extra spaghetti sauce in 1 quart freezer zippy bags, I was finally able to use some my supply. (Love how easy your recipes are and how yummy they taste.).
      Definitely a recipe that I will be cooking again.

      Hi Audrey!

      Great recipe and not at all difficult. I put a little twist on it and made a Detroit Style Pizza
      with this dough. I basically followed your recipe all the way through the rising. I also
      warmed up the bowl in the 100 degree oven so it was fool proof for the rising. I then
      oiled a 13 x 9 metal pan with olive oil (Detroit Style pans are available on line, but don’t
      bother, this worked just fine) I basically followed Jeff Mauro’s Detroit-Style Pepperoni
      Pizza recipe for the rest. I did a good marinara from a jar to save time and whole milk
      mozzarella since brick cheese is hard to find. I preheated the oven to a screaming 525
      degrees with the rack positioned in the bottom. When I layed out your dough, it fit perfectly
      in the 13 x 9 and I just pressed it to fit in the corners…NO GLUTEN, so no snapping back
      and waiting for it to relax. I lightly salted the base then proceeded with Jeff’s recipe.
      He has a video and that helps. Baked it on the bottom rack for 15 minutes- and as you
      always say, watch it since all ovens are different. I turned on the broiler for a minute or so
      cuz a like it a little brown and bubbly. After I pulled it out, I ran a spatula around it. The
      crispy edges make your mouth water. I then let it rest for 10 mins, then removed and
      sliced into squares. Perfection!
      Love your recipes Audrey!!! Keep them coming!

      One question for you on this pizza crust recipe. I see 1 Tbsp baking powder in the list of ingredients, yet not in the instructions. Does it get added to the flour, salt & yeast?
      Thanks!
