Gluten-free pizza night can be a fun family ritual! This pizza crust recipe is similar to traditional gluten pizza dough, just with less rising time. The dough does not need to be pre-baked like other gluten-free crusts, you simply create your pizzas and then carefully slide them onto a very hot pizza stone for baking. Try setting out a variety of toppings so everyone can enjoy creating part of a pizza.

Agree with other reviews!! This was one of the best gluten free crusts that I have had! I pressed it out on parchment paper and flipped it onto a hot cast-iron 12-inch pan since I didn't have a pizza stone. Then I added the sauce and toppings and put it back in the oven. Worked perfectly and slide right off the cast iron pan after it was done cooking, so I could make pizza number 2. The first pizza I added vegan cheese right from the start and it started to brown so I pulled it after about 18 minutes of cooking and the dough was not fluffy enough. With #2, I cooked it for 10 minutes without vegan cheese and then added the cheese and cooked for another 15 minutes, which led to beautifully fluffy dough and perfect cheese.

I believe that this is the best gluten free crust I've tried. Even better than those at a pizza restaurant! I made a half recipe and rolled the crust out between two pieces of parchment paper. I removed the top piece of parchment and slid a flat cookie sheet underneath. Then I placed the floured pizza peel on top and flipped it over. I removed the other piece of parchment and the dough slid off easily onto the stone. It rose nicely and had a great texture.

I have made several pizza crusts before, but this one takes the cake! if you are looking for a thicker crust, this is the crust to try! I also have played around with using this recipe to make 3 crusts instead of 2 if I want a thinner crust. A cast iron worked great in place of a pizza stone for me as well!
