Gluten-Free Pizza – recipe makes 3, ten-inch GF Pizzas

Ingredients:
For the Dough
• 500 gm (1.1 lbs.) (17.637 ozs.)Caputo Brand “Fioreglut” Gluten-Free Flour (GFF) (this is essential – do not substitute)
• 400 ml (400 gm) (14.1 oz.) Luke-warm water (around 80 – 90 deg. F)
• 1 TBSP (10 gm) Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) and more for dusting/coating (alternate: regular Olive Oil)
• 2 ½ TSP salt (12 ½ gm) (0.441 oz)
• ½ TSP Instant Yeast (2 gm) (0.0705 oz)
• More GFF for dusting

Pizza Toppings – use whatever you like…today I used:
• Tomato sauce
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Mushroom tapenade (bruschetta) (alternate fresh sliced mushrooms)
• Pepperoni

Process
• Add yeast to the water and mix
• In a bowl, add yeast/water mixture to the flour, and with a spatula (coated with EVOO), mix the flour and yeast/water together, until all flour is incorporated (only takes a minute)
• Add salt and mix in
• Add the 1 TBSP EVOO and with your hands, mix in, and form your dough (takes about 15 - 30 seconds)
• Sprinkle some GFF on your counter and place dough on top. Divide dough into 3 equal size pcs (300 gm each)
• With EVOO on your hands, just roll the dough into a ball shape, place in a container and cover it. Let stand 1 hour if using same day. (After 30 minutes, Preheat your oven to 500 deg. F. with pizza stone in it)
• Then sprinkle GFF on the counter, remove the dough from the container and place on counter.
• With EVOO on your hands, start to form the dough into a 10-inch round, by pushing down from the middle of the dough, and working your way outwards – leaving a higher ridge for your crust.
• Lightly dust some GFF on a pizza peel and place the 10-inch round dough on top
• Add your toppings
• Slide your pizza into your pre-heated oven, onto your pizza stone
• Cook for 9 minutes min- 10 minutes, depending on your oven or 12 minutes if you want it crispy
• Enjoy

NOTES:
• GF Pizza Dough, does not handle like regular dough – it’s totally different and must be shaped by hand (i.e you cannot toss this dough)
• When cooked, it will not get dark, like your regular pizza does
• I like to brush some EVOO on the crust after the pizza comes out, but you can do this before it goes in, to add more color.
• Another option for more color is to cook your pizza for 8 – 9 minutes on the lower rack, then bump it up to the top rack and broil for the last minute or 2 😊
• This whole process from start to finish takes less than 2 hours
• If you refrigerate your dough for next day use, remove from fridge 2 hours prior to using it

Finally! We have been looking for a flour for years for our Daughter who is Celiac and misses her pizza. Ordering it now.

[willjohnson]

Bought the flour months ago. Finally got around to making pizzas last night. AMAZING pizza. Everybody loved it.

[sweetcharlemaigne]

almost lost my life to undiagnosed Celiac a few years back - and I was known for my baking - so, was DELIGHTED to stumble across your channel and this recipe - especially since it uses yeast. thank you!

[daisybrown]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I loved your gluten free bread recipe and now I am in love with this recipe also. I just cooked my pizza a little longer because I like real crispy dough and put a little olive oil on the crust then cooked it. It came out a light golden brown and tasted just like real pizza dough! So good. 🙂

[jpolhemusc]

I made this tonight. Wonderful crust! Thank you! I'm off to Amazon to order more Caputo flour.

[johannadiaz-sanchez]

Great, thank you so much forr teaching, I love all you tutorials, I surprised my sister who love pizza but she became gluten free. It is really delicious!

[doreensherk]

Looks really good Evo. I like the mushroom burshetta

[bismarehman]

Thank you so much sir💐.I truly appreciate all of your recipes well explained with all the detail. Please make more gluten free recipes as my daughter recently diagnosed with celiac disease and can’t eat gluten 😢 and it’s a blessing that now I can make her gf pizza and bread( btw I tried your gf bread it was so delicious 😋) once again thank you 💐. God bless you ♥️

[mariocutajar]

Very interesting . The only thing i will add raw onions and herbs like mint or basil . You should try maltese pizza with capponata, olives, and anchovies and herbs as well . You will love it .

[EVovchuk]

Thank you so much for all your videos. The dry sausage videos are great the pizza dough video is great. I love all of them!! keep posting thank you again!

[barbara]

Thank you SO much for this recipe & flour idea. I've been using King Arthur & now I will try this. You are my new best friend!!

[crankiemanx]

Thank you so much, how nice of you to make gluten free breads & pizza & share your recipes even when you dont have coeliac disease.i just found your channel & read all the positive comments, & immediately subscribed, i cant wait to try your recipes. 🍕 🍕 🍕

[JJ-pdgo]

looks great thank you for sharing need this recipe cause i am a celiac very sensitive🥰

[tkgsingsct]

this Caputo flour is *amazing* - but be aware, if your gluten problem is an actual wheat allergy, the flour is made with gluten-free *wheat starch.* I'm highly gluten intolerant and I use this flour to make focaccia a couple times a month, I haven't tried it for pizza crust yet but I will.

[nicolegrabowski]

This flour & recipe was awesome! My dough took about 1.75 hours to rise in a proofing oven. I also brushed a light amount of butter on the crust before baking. The hot pizza stone works best. Thank you!

[heatherragoonanan]

This looks amazing! I will definitely try this recipe, thank you so much for sharing! :)

[travelingmindful]

We’re going to try this recipe, but I think brushing the crust with some olive oil pre-bake could help w/ the color, rather than after! Great video, maybe we will even try a cheese “stuffed’ crust

[joycecapello]

Thank you! You are awesome, I will definitely try this!

[Cristina-yeyp]

I just bought the flour online I can’t wait to try your pizza recipe🍕

[dmia]

This flour is AMAZING. And if you follow these directions you´re gonna have a fantastic pizza. I let in rise for four hours then split it in threes. We bought a round pizza oven with stone plate and enjoy pizza any time we want.
