Allergen and Substitution Alerts

- Substitutions: For low-carb, use almond flour (adjust water). Add herbs like oregano to the dough for flavor. Ensure oil is neutral if olive taste is too strong.
Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make Homemade Gluten Free Pizza Dough
This quick method gets you from mixing to baking fast:
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in warm water and olive oil until a dough forms—about 1-2 minutes.
- Knead lightly: On a floured surface, knead for 1 minute until smooth (dough will be soft).
- Roll out: Divide in half; roll each into a 10-12 inch circle on parchment paper.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Add toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden.
Total time: 30 minutes. Par-bake crust for 5 minutes if adding wet toppings.
