The Best Gluten Free Pizza Crust: Crispy, Chewy, and Totally Celiac-Safe
If you’re living a gluten-free life like me, you know the struggle of finding a pizza crust that actually tastes like pizza. So many gluten-free crusts are crumbly, flavorless, or worse—feel like cardboard. After years of experimenting in my kitchen, I’ve finally nailed what I believe to be the best gluten free pizza crust recipe—and it’s one I make weekly in my home.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed with celiac disease or just dabbling in gluten-free eating, this recipe is for you.
Before we start, you will need:
- highwall baking sheet or 2-3 non spring form pans (8-inch)
- olive oil
- yeast
- gluten free flour — this is the only flour I use
