Benefits of Grilled Pizza Crust:
What makes this new gluten free pizza base recipe different is that it cooks up on your grill. Grilled pizza crust has two big benefits.

Are you ready to give this grilled pizza crust a try? First, lets make the gluten free pizza base. This pizza dough is probably going to be a lot more firm than what you are used to making. It needs to be more firm to hold up to the grill.
How to Make Gluten Free Pizza Base:
The first step is to proof your yeast so it gets nice and foamy. This helps the pizza crust so that it isn’t so dense.
Slowly add the ingredients into a mixer. (I switched to the dough hook on my Kitchen Aid mixer because it handles the dough the easiest.)
Put the gluten free pizza base dough onto a board and shape into individual pizza crusts.

Oh yeah, I can’t wait to try this, it looks wonderful. I was ‘famous’ for my grilled pizzas before becoming GF and I’ve been trying to recreate it with a GF pizza crust. This is definitely going on my menu this weekend. There is nothing like a good grilled pizza. The only thing I used to do differently is to flip the pizza crust half way through the cooking time, then add the toppings and close the lid to finish cooking and allow the cheese to melt. Will let you know how it turns out – THANK YOU!!!
Sandi Gaertner
You are the second person to say flip the crust. I need to try that. Please let me know how that works. Thank you so much!!
