Gluten-Free Thin-Crust Pizza

Gluten-Free Thin-Crust Pizza

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup water

    lukewarm, 152g

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • 2 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour

    240g

  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

    35g

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F with a pizza stone in the bottom (if you have one).

  2. 2

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lukewarm water and yeast until the yeast dissolves.

  3. 3

    Measure out the flour by gently spooning it into a cup and sweeping off the excess; or by weighing it. Add the flour and the remaining ingredients to the water/yeast, stirring to make a cohesive, somewhat sticky dough. The dough should only be mildly sticky, and easy to work with. If it's sticking to your fingers, mix in additional flour.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough in half, pat each half into a disk, and place on a lightly floured piece of parchment or waxed paper. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, while your oven gets good and hot. Perfect your technique Blog Gluten-Free Thin Crust Pizza By Alyssa Rimmer

  5. 5

    Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll it between two pieces of lightly greased parchment. Don't have parchment? See "tips," below. Roll a 12" circle; don't worry about making it perfectly round, an oval is fine. The rolled crust should be very thin.

  6. 6

    Top the crust with about 3 to 4 tablespoons sauce, and your preferred toppings.

  7. 7

    Transfer the pizza, parchment and all, to your baking stone. Bake for about 8 minutes, until the crust is brown and the toppings are heated through. If you're not using a stone, transfer the pizza, parchment and all, to a baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is brown and the toppings are cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and serve.

About this Recipe

Craving that perfect crispy, chewy pizza crust but need it to be gluten-free? This recipe helps you craft a delicious thin-crust pizza right in your own kitchen, delivering on taste and texture without compromise. Forget soggy or dense gluten-free crusts; this one is designed to impress.

The secret to a truly great gluten-free pizza begins with the right flour, and this recipe leverages King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour for a consistent, reliable result every time. By skillfully combining the leavening power of instant yeast (or active dry yeast) with the added lift from baking powder, this dough achieves a tender crumb and an enviable thin crust. The combination ensures a rise that mimics traditional doughs, preventing that common dense texture often found in gluten-free baking.

Get ready for a delightful pizza experience where the crust truly shines. You'll bite into a sturdy yet delicate base that crisps beautifully at the edges while maintaining a pleasant chew in the center. The light texture and subtle flavor of this naturally gluten-free dough provide the perfect canvas, allowing your chosen sauces and toppings to burst with flavor without being overshadowed. It’s a crust that holds up to generous toppings, making it perfect for those weeknight cravings or a fun weekend pizza night.

Customization & Variations

Once you've created this wonderful gluten-free base, the real fun begins! Feel free to customize your pizza with any toppings your heart desires. From a vibrant marinara with classic mozzarella and fresh basil to savory chicken and barbecue sauce, or a medley of roasted vegetables with a creamy white sauce, this versatile crust is designed to support a wide range of flavor profiles, making every pizza night uniquely yours.

This thin-crust pizza is ideal for a relaxed family dinner, a casual get-together with friends, or even a solo treat. Serve it hot out of the oven, perhaps alongside a crisp green salad or a simple Caesar, for a complete and satisfying meal that everyone can enjoy.
