Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the crust.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them well to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the olive oil and water to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring it is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
- Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, spread the dough evenly into your desired pizza crust shape, about 1/4-inch thick for optimal cooking.
- Bake Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it is set and slightly golden on the edges.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite vegan and gluten-free toppings. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the crust is fully crisped.

- You can customize the thickness of the crust by spreading the dough thinner or thicker according to preference.
- This recipe serves one standard pizza crust; double the ingredients to make a larger pizza.
- Be cautious during topping bake time to avoid overcooking crust and toppings.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
