Description
A delicious gluten free pizza crust made with psyllium husk for a great texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cup lukewarm water (420ml)
- 4 tbsp whole psyllium husk (20g)
- 2 ½ cup + 1 tbsp gluten free all purpose flour blend (360g)
- 2 ¼ tsp quick yeast (8g)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil + more for the crust
Instructions
- Psyllium Gel: Mix water and psyllium husk together in a medium bowl. Set aside to thicken up as you prep the other ingredients.
- Flour Mixture: Whisk flour, yeast, salt and sugar together in a large bowl until well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Stir the apple cider vinegar and oil into the psyllium gel then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix together until fully combined. Make sure to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl every so often to get all the floury bits. Mix together until you end up with a thick, smooth, slightly sticky dough that easily clumps together.
- Knead & Divide: Lightly flour your hands and a clean work surface. Place dough on the floured surface and knead until soft and smooth. Divide into two equal sized dough balls. Set one ball aside and cover with a tea towel to keep from drying out while you work with the other.
- Shape: Add a bit more flour to your work surface. Starting with the first dough ball: press down on the dough with your hands to flatten into a disc. Gently pull and gradually stretch the dough out in a circular shape. Make sure to lift and turn the dough every so often to keep it from sticking to the worktop. Continue pressing and stretching the dough (starting from the center and moving out) until you end up with a 10-12 inch circle. Once big enough, carefully lift and transfer to a large, un-rimmed baking sheet or pizza screen (recommended). Stretch & flatten the dough out after transferring if needed to get it back in shape.
- Proof: Brush a bit of olive oil over the top of the crust, then cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel in a warm, draft free environment to let the dough rise – at least 1 hour. (See notes for overnight proof)
- Add Toppings & Bake: Preheat oven to 475°F (250°C) – heat for at least 15 minutes before adding pizzas to ensure it’s fully heated. Add your preferred pizza toppings. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is a lightly golden brown. Remove from oven, slice & serve.
Notes
- You can prepare the dough in advance and let it rise overnight in the fridge for a more developed flavor.
- Experiment with different toppings to suit your taste.
