Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza Crust
A crispy delicious gluten free sourdough pizza crust recipe. If you don't have a sourdough starter, no worries because I include a dry yeast option.
Ingredients
- 3 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup gluten free sourdough starter * see note
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sourdough starter, 2 cups gluten free flour blend, and water. Mix well. This dough will be somewhat wet.
- Allow rising 4-6 hours. (I typically rise overnight, or through the day so it is ready for pizza night.)
- Mix additional 1 cup flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
- Add this mixture to the dough and mix.
- Sprinkle some flour onto the parchment paper and spread to cover. Dump the dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Dust the top with additional flour and press the dough flat. You may need up to 1/2 cup additional flour for this process. As you press the dough, sprinkle the top with flour if the dough is sticky. Press the dough until it is 1/4 inch thickness.
- Allow the crust to rise for 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 425º F.
- Pre-bake your crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Add your pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake an additional 10-12 minutes until the cheese is slightly golden.
Notes
1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend, and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn't contain Xanthan Gum, add 3/4 teaspoon.
3. You can use homemade sauce or store-bought pizza sauce. Just check the label if you use store-bought to ensure it is gluten free.
4. It is important to pre-bake your crust so that the pizza crust cooks a little first.
Dry Yeast Instructions:
To use dry yeast, add one packet to 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Allow sitting for 10 minutes until frothy. Use this in place of the sourdough starter and follow the same directions.
SPECIAL NOTE
Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
