One of the things I missed when I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1986 was real, glutenous, pizza! This was one of the things that literally made me cry. I remember making a gluten-free pizza crust that was horrible and just standing in the kitchen crying. There weren’t any ready-made gluten-free pizzas like there are now, and some of them are really delicious. But, if you want to try your hand at a gluten-free pizza crust, this is a great recipe to start with. And, with all the gluten free flour mixes available today, there is no real reason to do without.
Try this, and get creative to make your own. A pizza crust has a 5 to 3 flour to liquid ratio. If you keep that the same you’ll turn out great dough regardless of the type of flour you choose.
