Ingredients needed for gluten free pizza crust
- Tapioca flour
- Salt & Baking powder
- Olive oil
- Egg
- Almond milk- unsweetened
- Mozzarella cheese
How to make gluten free pizza crust
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I prefer to cook it on a pizza stone like this one. if using a stone make sure to stick it in the oven prior to preheating!
You can just place the parchment paper on a large round plate or pan to press it out and then just carefully slide onto preheated stone to bake.
Once the crust is cooked carefully remove from the oven and top it with your favorite pizza toppings!
Can I make this pizza crust ahead
Yes you can certainly prepare the crust in advance! Just allow it to cool completely after being baked, cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Recipe notes & tips
- Loosely measure the tapioca flour- you don't want to pack it down or you'll get too much flour.
- You can substitute the almond milk with regular milk or another plant based milk.
- I recommend lightly coating the parchment paper with olive oil since it makes it easier to spread out the dough.
- You can also put a little oil on the top if you're having trouble spreading it out or even wet your hands with water.
- The olive oil can be substituted with another oil such as avocado oil but personally I prefer olive oil for this recipe

OMG I've never made pizza from scratch before and I made this and I love it so much. I felt the dough was a bit wet so I added enough Tapioca flour so it wasn't sticking to my fingers anymore. I put my dough on parchment paper on a pizza pan. The edges are nice and crispy.
This is a great week day recipe - thank you so much!

You're welcome and thank-you for the lovely feedback!

Love that this recipe is super quick, and I had all ingredients on hand already! Great taste, too. For those who are expecting a "regular" (non-GF) pizza crust, mine definitely turned out much more dough-y and "raw" than firm or crispy, so it took some expectation adjusting for my non-GF folks to enjoy it fully (although I didn't mind it)! I would love to hear how to make it crispier if you have any tips, as I am fully aware that could've been an operator error on my part 🙂 Maybe the hot stone would've done the trick? Thanks for the recipe!
Stephanie
You're welcome and using a hot pizza stone is something I would definitely recommend for a crisper crust. You could also try adjusting the amount of tapioca flour or try a different brand of tapioca flour. Let me know if any of these tips helped you out.

I just put my crust in the oven. I hope it turns out ok. I followed your recipe and found that the dough was too wet so I added more flour. Is that ok?
Stephanie
Yes it's okay to add more flour if needed.
Tracy
Can the cheese be omitted?
Stephanie
Yes or you can substitute with a dairy free cheese if needed!

This was so good! A little while ago, I had been trying to find a substitute for the Chebe pizza dough mix. I figured out that that mix was made almost entirely out of tapioca starch, so I thought this might be similar. It was so great!
I used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella and I also sprayed the top with oil and sprinkled oregano on top. So great! Crunchy and chewy!
Deanna Grace
I also had to add about one more cup of tapioca flour because the dough was wayyy too wet.
Stephanie
If the dough is a little wet you can also sprinkle the top with more tapioca flour as you're spreading out the crust.
Stephanie
Thanks Deanna! Glad you enjoyed it!
