Why Choose Gluten-Free Pizza?

Traditional pizza crusts contain wheat flour, which has gluten—a protein that can cause digestive issues for some people. By using gluten-free flours like tapioca, coconut, and arrowroot flour, you get a pizza crust that’s just as satisfying but easier to digest. Plus, this recipe is paleo-friendly and dairy-free!

Ingredients for the Gluten-Free 10-Inch Pizza Crust

To make this easy and delicious gluten-free pizza, you’ll need:

  • ¼ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup dairy-free plain yogurt (such as Forager or Culina)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • ½ cup arrowroot flour

For Topping:

  • Tomato sauce or pesto
  • Your favorite cheese or dairy-free alternative
  • Toppings of choice (pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, basil, etc.)
  • A drizzle of olive oil for extra crispiness

  1. Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, water, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the tapioca, coconut, and arrowroot flour, stirring until the dough comes together.
  2. Form the Dough: Roll the dough into a ball. If it’s too sticky, add a little extra flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of coconut milk.
  3. Roll It Out: Dust a surface with tapioca flour and roll the dough into a 10-inch circle, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Cook the Crust: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of olive oil. Cook the pizza base for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add Toppings: Place the crust on a baking sheet, spread your favorite sauce, sprinkle cheese, and add toppings.
  6. Bake & Enjoy: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro Tips for the Best Gluten-Free Pizza

  • For extra crispiness, brush the crust with olive oil before baking.
  • Pre-bake the crust before adding toppings to avoid sogginess.
  • Experiment with flavors! Try pesto instead of tomato sauce or use dairy-free cheese for a completely vegan option.
