Let your bread machine do the work while you pull the rest of your pizza ingredients together. If you have extra time, make two batches and follow the directions on how to freeze the dough for later.
Gluten Free Pizza Dough
Enough dough for two 12″ round pizzas.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 tsp. instant rapid rise yeast ( I like SAF brand)
3 1/2 cups gluten free bread flour blend (Pamela’s makes a good one as does King Arthur)
For a DIY version, see below
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. xanthan gum ( omit if your flour blend has it already)
1 1/2 tsp. salt ( again omit if your flour blend has it already)
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil or grape seed oil
1 tsp. cider vinegar
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the yeast, flour blend, brown sugar and xanthan gum.
Place the salt, water, oil and vinegar in the bread machine pan. Turn the machine on the Dough Cycle.
As it begins to mix, slowly add the flour mixture to it, scraping down the flour from the sides and bottom until it is all mixed together. Adding it slowly allows it mix better than dumping it all in at once. Try it and see. If it works better for you to dump it in and then just mix everything up, go for it 🙂
Stop the machine before it starts the rise cycle. Just let it mix it up for you.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place a piece of parchment paper on both pizza pans. go ahead and cut to fit but leave a about 1 to 2 inches all the way around. Or do what I do and just spread it out on a cookie sheet and try to make it as round as possible. You may want to spritz the pans with non-stick cooking spray and then place the parchment on top to keep it from moving around.
Divide the completed dough in half and spread each half with a spatula sprayed with non-stick spray if it tries to stick. Or, do what I do and just oil your hands and start pressing it into a circle.
Pop in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Take out and place sauce of choice and toppings and throw back in the oven for another 12 to 15 minutes or until everything is nice and bubbly and the crust is golden on the edges.
Yum Yum!
If you want a DIY flour blend, here’s one that works pretty well.
1 1/4 cups sorghum flour
2/3 cup bean flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca starch
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. xanthan gum
1 1/’2 tsp. salt
You can package this up in airtight plastic bags and have it ready to go anytime you want to make it a pizza night.
As for freezing the dough: After you stop the dough cycle on the bread machine, place half of the dough in airtight freezer bags and squeeze out as much air as you possible can. Place in your freezer for up to one month. Make sure to label the bags so you know how long it’s been in there.
Take the dough out of the freezer and leave on the counter to thaw, or place in the refrigerator and let thaw. It may take up to 48 hours depending on how rock hard it is. Then follow the recipe above.
I hope you enjoy this too!

July 31, 2018I was so looking forward to try this recipe.
I want to assume that the 2 plus chips of water was a typo. (?)
It turned out like yellow water consistency. Raised all the way out of the bread machine container….
What a disaster!
I live in the tropics and it’s very hard to find all the ingredients. But I managed to find them and paid a premium for them….
Sorry but I would not recommend this recipe to anyone
Kathy
July 31, 2018Yes! I am so sorry for the disaster. It should have been 1 1/4 cups of water not the 2 1/4 cups of water.

June 4, 2023I’ve just made this pizza dough in my bread machine and made my first pizza. I chose ham mozzarella and pineapple fot the topping. Absolutely delicious! I’ve bought many different gluten free pizza bases and none of them come close to the taste of this one. Thank you for sharing it.

November 3, 2018Crackingly good recipe, thank you. It has the approval of my 5 year old son and we’ll be making it again, possibly as a flat bread too.
I was true to the recipe and it worked well. I hope your previous responder can take the plunge and try again with the correct water amount. I used 450g of flour for 3 1/2 cups, and US Imperial measurements (1 cup = 239mL, 1 Tbsp=15mL). Oh, I made one substitution: I used 1 Tbsp off brown sugar and 1 Tbsp of rice malt syrup as I ran out of brown flour.
Looking forward to trying some other recipes on your blog/site. Thanks again.

November 5, 2018thanks for the comments. Glad it worked great for you. Kathy

April 5, 2019Sunday nights are pizza night at our house and this has quickly become our go to gluten free crust! I add garlic and Italian seasoning and my kids beg for this recipe each week, asking if I’m making the “yummy crust.” Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
Kathy
April 15, 2019That’s so awesome! I’m touched that your kids really like this. That puts a major smile on my face. Thanks for sharing with me.

April 13, 2019Finally, after almost 15 years of searching, a pizza recipe that works!
Thank you so much 🙂

March 17, 2020We have a bread machine that has a GF setting. If I make the dough early in the morning….what do I do with it before using it in the evening? Freezing doesn’t seem like an option. Thanks and looking forward to enjoying the crust.
Kathy
March 25, 2020Hi Chuck,
If you are making the bread in the machine, just let it finish the cycle. Pop it out and allow to cool on a wire rack so it doesn’t get mushy on the bottom. If you don’t use it all up in the evening, go ahead and wrap in plastic wrap. It will stay fresh on the counter for about 2 days.
If you are trying to make dough ahead of time, I wouldn’t. It’s not going to hold well and it will affect the rise of the bread.

August 20, 2020This is my “go to” pizza dough recipe. Love it!
Kathy
October 28, 2020I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!

November 21, 2020I made another GF Pizza Dough recipe, and it did not come out like regular Pizza Dough. It came out very soupy. Is this normal consistency of GF Pizza Dough?
Kathy
December 31, 2020I’m not sure what happened. I’m sorry it did not turn out for you. The dough is rather wet, but shouldn’t be “soupy”. Try adding in the water starting with 3/4 cup and increase until the dough looks like “mashed potatoes”. Hope this helps.

March 5, 2022I am confused as my bag of Gluten Free King Arthur flour states not recommended for breads, doughs, etc. that call for yeast. Please advise. Thank you.
Kathy
March 14, 2022I’m not sure which one you have. King Arthur has quite a few different gluten free blends. I personally use Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 flour blend and have not had any issues with it. Sometimes, I make my own blends, but lately I’ve been busy and have just gone with what is convenient at the moment 🙂

March 12, 2022I’m having a heck of a time trying to find a chickpea flour (I prefer sprouted), pizza dough recipe for my Zijorushi Virtuoso Plus machine. Can I just use the chickpea flour in place of any gluten free flour? Thank you.
Kathy
March 14, 2022If you want to use the chickpea flour, that’s fine. I would use the DIY blend recipe and make sure to add in the starches as this will help to lighten up the dough. Just sub in your chickpea flour for all the others and you should be good to go. just follow the rest of the recipe.
Let me know how it turns out!
Claire
March 27, 2023Can you omit the cider vinegar?
Kathy
March 28, 2023Yes you can omit the vinegar. It just helps to make the bread rise better. Let me know if you need any help. Kathy

September 4, 2023THIS WAS SOO GOOD! My Husband was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and this has replaced Normal pizza in my household. I flavored the dough too. Thank You so much
