Make the Best Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe

The first time we went to Italy we walked down to the corner cafe in Radda Chianti for a quick dinner. The menu said, “giant pizza for two.” That is unique in Italy, as most pizza is served personal-pan style. The other thing that was different was that there was no description.

You get what you get. We think we got the best pizza of our life.

How to Make a Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe from Spinach TIger

The crust was crispy, chewy and little bit charred. We ate the whole thing with such gusto, you would have thought we were in a pizza eating contest. Truth is we had just left a wine festival and needed something to eat fast, after having sampled 21 amazing wineries, all for 8 euros.

So take a good look. There’s a little of this, a little of that, spread out in whatever order the owner decided. He was thrilled with our appetite and brought limencello to the table afterwards. This still stands as our best pizza memory of our life and one of our best Italy memories.

That was 2008. This is now 2017 and Spinach Tiger eats gluten free. What’s a girl to do about pizza?

Spinach Tiger finds the world’s best gluten free pizza crust recipe.
She gets busy trying to make a thin, chewy, crispy gluten free pizza crust recipe that delivers the pleasure that only pizza can bring.

I show you how to get close enough to not feel like you’re missing out on Italy’s greatest gift to America. Pizza Pie.

Here is a video for the Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe.

I want to make sure you understand this is not going to be tossed or slapped on the counter. It’s gluten free. We have to take a different tact, but we are thrilled with the results we got!

Mr. Spinach Tiger said this is not just good for gluten free. It’s just good!

I will warn you that the pizza crust starts white and turns a whole wheat color. Don’t let that scare you away. It’s most likely the almond flour that tends to brown easily, but it does not affect the taste whatsoever!

Instead of trying to figure out the ins and outs, I first went to the America Test Kitchen. It’s tricky the first time, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy. I adapted the recipe, used Bob’s Red Mill one to one and made a few slight changes.

The Main Ingredients for a Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe

  • Gluten Free Flour (We use Bob’s Red Mill One to One)
  • Instand Yeast or Rapid Rise (must be this kind)
  • Psyllium Husk
  • Blanched Almond Flour
  • Olive Oil
  1. Use a Stand Mixer with a fitted Paddle or use an electric mixer.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
  3. Mix warm water with olive oil. Make sure this is at least 100 degrees, no warmer than 110.
  4. Slowly pour into dry ingredients.
  5. Mix for what seems forever. Six minutes.
  6. Using a plastic wrap sprayed with olive oil or baking spray to spread the dough.
  7. Pre-Bake, low and slow, for 40-50 at  325 degrees F, starting with a cold oven.

You must partially pre-bake the crust for long time, up to 50 minutes. A hot oven will only end up in a cracker crust and without the chew, you can’t call this pizza. This ensures the right texture.

I also got a little help with my gluten free pizza dough recipe from my friends at OXO.

OXO sent me a pizza pan, pizza cutter and this vegetable slicer (amazon affiliate). If you take notice at many of my recommendations for kitchen tools, OXO is always in the line-up. I’m brand loyal because I don’t like like a lot of useless gadgets, and they make things that work well and save time. I used these to slice uniform coins of zucchini and to grate parmesan.

The new pizza pan is amazing. It’s not heavy stoneware, but bakes like stone. It stores away more easily than stone and can be used for my famous gluten free biscuits. So famous, that google has put them at the top of the pack. 

Why this pizza pan from works for a Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe

  • It’s a heavy gauge aluminized steel, which promotes even heating.
  • It has a micro textured pattern, allowing for airflow.
  • It bakes like a baking stone, only is not as heavy.
  • The Gluten Free Pizza Dough

If you know anything about Spinach Tiger, it’s that I have high standards for my baking recipes and especially for pizza crust. This gluten free pizza dough hits all the points I was hoping for. I didn’t think possible in a gluten free crust, because it’s the elasticity of the gluten that makes pizza dough great.

We used fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, zucchini coins, fresh corn, fresh oregano.

How Does this Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe Taste

The taste is excellent. This gluten free pizza dough recipe is above and beyond what most gluten free breads taste like. My only problem with the pizza crust was wanting to eat too much of it.

Anytime I think about living a gluten free life, I think about losing the ability to eat crusty bread. When we made the first pizza crust, before we put anything on it, we all ate it, like it was bread. I put Irish butter on mine. Some ate it just as it. We loved it that much.

The second time I made this, I made myself a vegan pizza with no cheese, using zucchini, roasted tomatoes, olive oil and fresh corn. It was so delicious, because the crust was amazing. My next plan is to make smaller rounds, freeze them and use for avocado toast or bruschetta.  Stay tuned for that post.

Use the Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe to Make a Giant Pizza for Two

  • Apply a tomato sauce or roasted tomatoes in moderate amount.
  • Apply a smattering of fresh mozzarella but not too much. 4 ounces is more than enough.
  • Apply sliced vegetables, olives, cured beef, bacon, pepperoni, ham (or whatever you like) here and there. Do not stack. Do not overload.
  • Bake the final pizza in a hot oven at 500 degrees F.
  • When it comes out of the oven, top with arugula or fresh herbs.
  • Use the OXO pizza cutter and enjoy!

Oxo supplied the pan, cutter and vegetable slicer for this post: this is not a paid post.

Gluten Free Life Style

Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe

Gluten Free pizza dough adapted from the America Test Kitchen, and applied to the famous giant pizza for two we had in Italy.
Prep Time2 hrs 30 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Total Time3 hrs 30 mins
Course: Entree
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 12
Author: Angela Roberts

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) Bob's Red Mill one-to-one gluten free flour Order Here
  • 2 1/2 ounces (71 grams) almond flour 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon Order Here
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons (23 grams) powdered psyillium husk Order Here
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons (18 grams) baking powder gluten free
  • 2 teaspoons (12 grams) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) instant or rapid rise yeast MUST BE THIS KIND OF YEAST
  • 2 1/2 cups (585 ml) warm water 100 degrees
  • 1/4 cup (54 grams) extra virgin olive oil
  • olive oil spray
  • Kitchen tools
  • spray bottle water
  • Kitchen Aid Mixer
  • Plastic Wrap
  • Large Spatula I used this
  • Pizza Pan for Giant Pizza I used this
  • Pizza Cutter I used this
  • Good Grips Vegetables Slicer I used this

Instructions

  • Mix together, flours, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, yeast.
  • Mix using the paddle of electric mixer.
  • Mix together warm water and oil and slowly add in steady stream until incorporated.
  • Mix for about six minutes on medium.
  • The dough will be very sticky, almost like a batter, but will pull away from the sides with a spatula.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and top with plastic wrap or 1 1/2 hours or until you see that the dough is bubbly. Use spatula to look at the dough.
  • I made one 15 inch pizza and one ten inch personal pizza. You can also make (2) 11 inch pizzas.
  • You want your dough about 1/4 inch thick with thicker edges.
  • Place dough in center of your baking pan.
  • Spray a piece of plastic wrap with baking spray.
  • Using a big spatula like the OXO smooth out. You can also use your hands and then use the spatula once you take the plastic off, to smooth out.
  • Place in a cold oven.
  • Set the temperature to 325 and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Smaller 10 inch sized pizzas will be done at 40 minutes. Larger pizzas take up to 55 minutes.
  • Remove and and put toppings on. (You can freeze cooled crusts).
  • If you do freeze, you can top and put in oven frozen.
  • To Make PIzza:
  • Heat Oven to 500 degrees.
  • Place toppings on pizza.
  • Bake for about 8 -10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. We baked the largest pizza for 15 minutes.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

Good Morning Saturday.  Dutch baby is keto friendly and recipe is on the blog. Ingredients below. We eat this with choc zero maple syrup which is sugar free and delicious. We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired. We are finally finishing out this 850 square feet walk out, and I can’t wait to get to the wall painting/decorating part. I need this project to keep my mind on happy things!

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.
