This gluten-free flatbread recipe is for a crust that can be used for pizza or flatbreads. After two years of cutting gluten out of my diet, this is the best pizza crust recipe I have — based on trial and error. My kids say this is better than our homemade wheat flour crusts.

Yield:
1 large crust

Ingredients

  • 1 cup very warm water

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons yeast

  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend

  • ½ cup rice flour

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Whisk water and sugar together in a bowl. Whisk in yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Combine gluten-free flour, rice flour, Italian seasoning, xanthan gum, gelatin, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk vinegar and olive oil into yeast mixture; pour over flour mixture. Mix on high speed until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 6 minutes.

  4. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top; smooth out dough to fill the baking sheet. Let dough rest, about 10 minutes.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until dough puffs up, 5 to 10 minutes. Peel parchment paper off the top. Continue baking until dough is golden brown and edges are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Tips

Use any kind of herbs you like.

After baking, add whatever toppings and cheese you like and return to the oven until the toppings are heated through and cheese melts.
