GF Pizza Crust

 

Gluten-Free Pizza Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour with xanthan gum (I added an extra 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet rapid yeast/instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water 110°-115°
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour, for dusting

  • Combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Warm the water in the microwave for 30-45 seconds to 110°-115°F. I use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
  • Add the sugar to the warm water and stir until it is dissolved.
  • Pour the warm sugar water into the gluten-free flour mixture and mix with your mixer on low.
  • Add the olive oil and apple cider vinegar to the gluten-free dough mixture and mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the dough starts to form. The gluten-free pizza dough will be very sticky.
  • Turn the bowl over on top of the floured parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gluten-free all-purpose flour on top of the dough. Gently pat the dough ball in an outward motion. Work from the middle and push to spread the dough out to the edge to make a 15″ circle. Use your fingertips to press down into the dough to form the crust edge. Use your hands to finish shaping and rounding the edges.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of gluten-free all-purpose flour onto a large sheet of parchment paper. Spread the gluten-free flour into a circle the size of the pizza crust (15″).
  • Remove the dough from the oven and preheat the oven to 425° F.
  • Place the dough in a greased ovenproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and place in your warm oven for 30 minutes to rise.
  • Place the parchment paper with the dough on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and top with the gluten-free pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
  • Bake the crust for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 cup (16 Tbsp226gunsalted buttersoftened to room temperature
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (350ggranulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • zest of 3 large lemons (about 1/4 cup, packed)
  • juice of 2 large lemons (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • Lemon Glaze

    • 1 cup (120g) sifted confectioners’ sugar
    • juice of 1/2 large lemon (or 1 medium, or 2 Tablespoons)
  • Lower the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick spray or grease thoroughly with butter. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: Sift the flour and cornstarch together into a large bowl. Whisk in the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy—about 1 minute. Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together fairly well. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed. Add the eggs and the vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed. Beat in the lemon zest and lemon juice. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.
  • Pour/spoon the batter evenly into the Bundt pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil if you begin to see the top browning quickly. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes inside the pan.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Drizzle over cake. Slice and serve.
