A simple and reliable gluten-free pizza crust recipe that delivers a crispy, chewy texture without gluten. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings, this crust holds up well under toppings and is easy to make with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (about 150g), finely ground
  • ½ cup tapioca starch (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup warm water (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar (if using).
  4. Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring with a spatula until a sticky dough forms.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wet your hands lightly and press the dough evenly onto the paper, forming a 10-12 inch circle about ⅛ inch thick.
  6. Slide the crust (on the parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden and crust is firm.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings without overloading.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake another 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.
  9. Let the pizza sit for 5 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing to help the crust firm up.

Notes

Do not skip the pre-bake step to avoid soggy crust. Use warm water (not hot) to help dough come together smoothly. Brushing edges with olive oil before pre-baking adds extra crispness and flavor. Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crispy. Dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. For vegan version, substitute egg with flax egg and olive oil with coconut oil.
