If you think you are better off deciding to buy gluten-free pizza crust instead of trying to make it yourself, you're absolutely right.

What's In Gluten-Free Pizza Crust?

What's in gluten-free pizza crust, and can I make it myself?

As we covered previously, the ingredients are out there to find, albeit not that easily but you can have a delicious pizza with your choice of favorite toppings, sitting atop gluten-free pizza crust. So many think that making your own pizza at home will be too much work and time, and they are right.

The following list of ingredients is what you need for a Tapioca Pizza Crust:

Dry Ingredients

-3/4 c. white or brown rice flour

-1 pkg. active dry yeast

-3/4 c. tapioca flour

-1 tsp. Agar-Agar powder

-1 tsp. salt

-1 tsp. sugar

-2 tbs. buttermilk powder

-2 tsp. xanthan gum

(Extra tapioca flour for rolling the pizza dough)

Wet Ingredients

-1/2 c. lukewarm water

-1 1/2 tsp. cider vinegar

-2 tsp. olive oil

To make gluten free pizza crust, mix all dry ingredients well in a large bowl. Once mixed, add the wet ingredients. Stir until all is forming a well-combined doughy mixture. Remove dough from bowl to a tapioca-floured surface for kneading. Work with the dough until you have a solid ball. Divide the dough in half. Work each half into a flattened pizza crust and place on a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. (sprinkle corn meal on parchment paper before putting crust on it.) Bake your crusts at 400 degrees for about 5-7 minutes to firm. Remove from oven, add your toppings and pop back into the oven for about ten minutes. When the cheese is melted and bubbling, your delicious gluten free pizza crust pizza is ready to eat.

A diagnosis of gluten intolerance or Celiac disease will turn your culinary world upside-down. You'll have to do a lot of experimentation in the kitchen. You may have to come up with many great gluten-free recipes that go far beyond simply swapping out wheat-based flours for gluten-free ones.  Another thing to help is to find an online supplier of gluten-free pizza crust to save yourself some steps.  However, if you want to try to come up with gluten-free recipes on your own, then you want to make sure you're getting the right ingredients.  

First, choosing a flour base with a good texture is important. Second, these flours don't have the same flavor as wheat-based flours. Neutral flavored flours require you to add ingredients to cover the lack of flavor. One possible, though hard to find choice is yeast extract.There are many flavors inherent in a traditional bread or crust. A lot of these actually come from the yeast used in leavening. You will get some of this from the yeast used in a normal recipe. You can also trick your taste buds into thinking it is a "normal" crust by adding more yeast flavor by means of an extract.

If you think this is a lot of work, you might wish to look for a place that you can get gluten-free pizza crust instead.
