  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 46 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water (105–110°F)
  • 2 cups (260 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (60 g) tapioca starch
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast with sugar in warm water for 5–8 minutes until frothy.
  2. Whisk gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, salt, and xanthan gum together.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients, add olive oil, and mix until a tacky dough forms.
  4. Let the dough rest covered for 45–60 minutes to hydrate.
  5. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or steel for 30–45 minutes.
  6. Shape the dough on oiled parchment with oiled hands.
  7. Slide the shaped dough onto the hot stone and par-bake for 4–5 minutes.
  8. Add toppings and bake for an additional 6–8 minutes until edges are browned and bottom is crisp.

Notes

For a crispier crust, consider a short pre-bake and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt.
