Let's tackle some Misconceptions about Gluten-Free Pizzas!
gluten-free pizza tastes different
This may have been true a few decades back, however, nowadays, there are several versions of gluten-free pizzas made with a variety of flours, starches and additives that taste amazing. Try this recipe and this myth will be busted :).
2. Gluten-free Pizza crust doesn’t rise!
Most recipes out there for gluten-free pizza just substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour without considering the fundamental difference between the flour types. Gluten-free pizza dough needs way more liquid than the regular pizza dough. In this recipe, you’ll get the exact measurements that adds a delicious bite to the pizza crust.
Now, with these myths busted let’s talk about this recipe and the ingredients.
What ingredients do I need to make Gluten-Free Pizza Base?
This recipe uses 4 commonly available ingredients:
- Flour: The combination of sorghum and almond flour in a 4:1 ratio gives the pizza base a crispy crust and a chewy bite.
- Leavening: With no yeast in this recipe, the magic of baking powder, baking soda and salt makes the dough rise.
- Fat: Just 1 tbsp of Olive oil keeps the dough from getting too dry and gives a delicate flavor.
- Binding: Psyllium husk/ powder and thick yogurt act as excellent binding agents for the dough. They tend a nice airy, and open texture to the dough, and also prevent it from becoming too crumbly. I prefer using psyllium husk, however I didn’t have it, so I used psyllium powder instead. You can also use xanthan gum as a 1:1 substitute.

With no-yeast in this recipe, you don’t need to let the dough rest overnight. No need to plan days in advance for a pizza night. You can make a gluten-free pizza at home in 30 minutes and enjoy with your friends and family.
Preparation:
- Make sure yogurt is at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450 deg F. Keep warm water ready for the dough.
- Gather ingredients for toppings (Pic#4). Grate Mozzarella cheese using a grater and set aside. (Pic#5)

- Toss the veggies with some salt, oregano, pepper and a dash of olive oil for an extra crunch and flavor. (Pic#7)

- Mix them well using a hand blender or your hand. Make sure the yogurt and oil are incorporated well (Pic#10). Now, add in about 1 cup warm water in batches to this mix, making sure it is blended in well. This forms a very loose and sticky almost like a thick batter kind of dough. (Pic#11)
- Cover and let it rest for 10-15 minutes while you prep your toppings.
And in about 5-7 minutes without excessive kneading, your gluten-free pizza dough is ready!
Do you bake pizza crust before adding toppings?
Yes! I like to pre-bake my gluten-free pizza crust before adding the toppings at 450 deg F for 7-9 minutes to let the gluten-free flours absorb the excess moisture for a light and airy texture inside and a crispy top.
How to bake a Gluten-free Pizza?
Unlike the regular pizza dough, the gluten-free pizza dough cannot be stretched or rolled. Follow these simple tips and tricks to prep your gluten-free pizza for baking:
- Invert a baking tray and place parchment paper on top. Using a brush add some olive oil onto the parchment paper and then, sprinkle some sorghum flour.
- Place about half of the dough onto the center, then, using a spatula (coat the spatula with a little oil) spread the dough gently pushing it out from the center to form a 7-8″ circle. (Pic#12, 13)
- Flatten it out with the back of the spatula. Then, take some oil on your fingers and gently go around the edge to smoothen it out. Pic#14
- Place the inverted tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake at 450 deg F for 7-9 minutes. Pic#15
- The top starts rising and turning golden brown. At this stage, take the base out of the oven. Pic#16
Important! Set the temperature to 400 deg F. Place a pizza stone inside the oven to preheat when you add the toppings to your pizza.
Veggie Pizza toppings for my Gluten-free Pizza:
- Take a generous amount of your homemade pizza sauce and spread it evenly on the surface using a spoon/ spatula. I like to leave the sauce off about a centimeter from the edge. Pic#17
- Add in parmesan cheese and freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Pic#18
- Spread your prepped and seasoned veggies. Add in some more cheese and then finish off with some oregano and fresh basil.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (Pic#19). Then bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese on top melts and the veggies appear crunchy. Turn off the oven. Take out the pizza after 2 minutes (Pic#20). Slice it and enjoy!
