Recipe FAQs

Can I Use Almond Flour To Make This Pizza Dough Recipe?

Actually, no. For this particular GF pizza dough recipe, you can’t use almond flour.

Is Yeast Gluten Free?

Well, yes. Commercial bread-making baker’s yeast is safely gluten-free.

However, brewer’s yeast is a by-product of beer-making, and that is definitely not gluten-free except if it is specified as such, which is very rare.

Can I Freeze This GF Pizza Dough?

Of course, yes. You can freeze the parbaked crust, which means half-baked crust.

However, I strongly suggest against freezing raw gluten-free yeast dough, given that the yeast can die at extreme temperatures.

You can actually try cranking up the heat and baking this gluten-free pizza crust in a toaster oven if you have a large enough toaster oven that has a round cutout in the back that permits you to bake rounds.

Can You Make This Gluten-free Pizza Dough Crust Ahead Of Time?

Absolutely, you can make this GF pizza dough crust ahead of time. All you need to do is parbake it.

After that, you can now refrigerate it for 2 to 3 days, then proceed to bake it with your toppings; this is based on your preference.

You can also just freeze the gluten-free crust and thaw it when required.

Making the pizza crust ahead of time just makes it quite convenient to plan meals, and when you are ready to make the pizza, it does save time.

Final Thoughts Gluten-Free Pizza Dough Recipe

These days, you can find gluten-free flour at all supermarkets, food stores, and health food stores.

Just pick a gluten-free plain flour and stay away from the self-raising ones.

Also, do not add more flour after the mixture has become extremely sticky.

In addition, you can leave your dough in the fridge overnight (up to 3 days) in a ziplock bag rather than raising it.

After that, remove it from the fridge, roll it out, and then bake it.

That being said, this will be the wrap-up of this guide on the gluten-free pizza dough recipe.
