Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
To get 10% off your first month go to betterhelp.com/BrianLagerstrom. As someone with a gluten intolerant spouse, this recipe has been a LONG time coming. But a really good homemade gluten free thin crust pizza has been somewhat elusive until now. Lorn and I are very excited to share this one with you. It’s thin, crispy, and just tastes like good pizza.

------
RECIPE - makes 2 pizzas + extra sauce
------
DOUGH
▪220g or 1c warm water (86F/30c)
▪7g or 2 1/4tsp instant yeast
▪3g or 2/3 tsp baking soda
▪8g or 2tsp sugar
▪5g or 1 tsp salt
▪15g or 1 1/4Tbsp olive oil
▪360g or 3c gluten free ap flour (i recommend king arthur or bob’s red mill 1 to 1)
Into a medium/large bowl, add water, yeast, baking soda, sugar, salt, olive oil, and flour. Stir to combine. Once a ball begins to form, switch to using a soaking wet hand to finish mixing until a ball is formed. Cover and allow to “rise” on the counter for 90 minutes.
Divide dough ball into two even (300g) pieces, then round and form into a ball. Feel free to add a touch of extra water if the ball is still crumbly. Oil two pieces of parchment and place the ball in between them (oiled sides toward the dough). Use a large flat surface to press out the dough ball into a wide round, then use a rolling pin (or wine bottle) to press the dough into a 12” round as shown @2:52.
SAUCE (makes enough for six 12” pizzas)
▪1 28oz can nice crushed tomatoes
▪12g or 2 tsp salt
▪20g or 1 2/3Tbsp sugar
▪2g or 1tsp onion powder
▪2g or 1tsp garlic powder
▪1g or 1/2tsp Chile flake
▪1g or heaping 1/2tsp dried basil
▪1g or heaping 1/2tsp dried oregano
▪100g or 1/3c tomato paste
Add all ingredients to a high sided container and spin with an immersion blender for 20-30sec.
TOPPINGS
▪1 lb or 1/2kg block part skim aged mozzarella, shredded
▪8oz or 1/4 kg fresh mozzarella, cubed
▪Pepperonis (or any other toppings you’d like)
Preheat oven to 550F/287C and place pizza steel or stone on the middle rack.
To build your pizza, I recommend using a knife to create a raised crust edge as shown @7:52. Add about 3 spoonfuls of sauce and spread edge to edge. Follow with the fresh mozzarella, breaking it down as you go. Follow with the shredded mozz and pepperonis. Slide the dough (and parchment underneath) onto a pizza peel and load it on to the preheated pizza steel/stone. Bake for 7min at 550F/287C. After 7min, remove the first pizza while you bake your second pizza for 7min. Remove pizza 1 from parchment and load directly onto pizza steel. Bake for 2 min. Repeat with pizza 2.

DUDE! My wife just recently developed some gluten problems. I spent the last week (and weekend) trying to mesh together a gluten free recipe for her and all the while thinking "Damn, why can't I find a nice tutorial like the one's Brian makes for normal pizza". This video came at a PERFECT timing! And it actually addressed the main problems I had on my test run this weekend. Thank you very much!
I tried this recipe for the first time last night doing exactly like you with the pizza stone THIS IS THE BEST FREAKEN GLUTEN FREE PIZZA I EVER ATE!!!! Thanks!!!!❤❤❤❤
I am also a Lauren who can’t eat gluten! Can’t wait to try this recipe! Totally welcome to any and all other gluten free recipes you have!

I find that the trick to making glutenfree bread and pizza is making the dough A LOT softer. If the dough is softer, it will rise and it will not crack. And it will also be softer to eat. I have been glutenfree since I was little, so I never actually worked with normal flour, but this is what I noticed watching other people trying to make glutenfree bread or pizza. They always make the dough too though and dry.

Also, I started putting fresh cracked pepper on my pepperroni pizza before I bake it and it is delicious!
Great video!!! I especially loved the flattening/rolling technique because I have always tried to roll the dough in the same vein as w/ normal flour. And it's always gone south. Thanks a heap. Can't wait to try this.

Excellent video. There are a lot of good options for those with Celiac or gluten sensitivity. Ingredients are relatively easy to find so getting recipes that work with them is huge. Thanks.
This a wonderful recipe, it is fantastic to be able to share this pizza with someone who can't normally eat pizza. That may be the only food you are allowed to cook for a few days. Thank you for the video.
Great video! Great tips. Really love the 7 minute cook/chill then crisp at the end. I laughed at the flour water %. Been dabbling in the GF pizz’r the past year and found 60% hydration to be perfect!😆
Love the recipe! And I also appreciate that you show the differences in gluten free baking (like no kneading). I have also been trying gluten free pizzas a lot since I am allergic, but I have never been able to come close to what I get in some restaurants. Also an extra tip: in my local gluten free restaurant that offers pizza, I can ask for a frozen portion of the dough they use. It's not really expensive and it tastes a lot better than the doughs I usually make (maybe this recipe is even better). In my experience, gluten free restaurants often have a family member that is gluten intolerant, and therefore they are really happy to help out since they know the struggles
Looks like an amazing recipe! Also the ending of you two dancing was really wholesome.

Nice recipe Brian. My wife won't eat gluten either and so I developed my GF pizza base too. I use 2/3 GF flour and 1/3 mashed potatoes with baking powder and water. Mix and leave for 15 minutes, then I roll it out to a rectangular shape and pre-cook it in a sandwich press for 60 sec with the lid resting on the dough. Then reverse the dough and give it another 60 secs. Assemble and cook in oven at 220 C for 7-8 mins. No waiting 90 mins for yeast to work.
Just want to say a huge thank you for this recipe! Made it today following all the steps and it turned out so close to the real thing. It blew any gluten free pizzas you can buy out of the water! My mom is celiac and I have been trying to make a Gluten free pizza well for a while and to no avail, mainly due to handling the dough and it just falling apart everytime. Using the parchment paper and never actually making direct contact with the dough once rolled is a genius move and it made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful. The family all loved it and we can look forward to pizza nights once again!
Wow. amazing amount of information and detail. Thank you.
Love it! You guys are fantastic ❤️
This is what I've been looking for!!! Thank you Brian 🙏

Always enjoy you pizza videos the most. This pizza is quite similar to your beer crust week night pizza, meaning with the parchment paper and how thin it is. Great video. Pizza Bliss.
Half my family is celiacs. Made this tonight and I’m a hero. Thanks so much for the recipe! Keep up the great work.

My wife has a gluten sensitivity, so we've tried several recipes for GF pizza. This is gonna be a great one to try!! We've also had some success ordering imported flour from Italy or France. Something about flour from Europe doesn't trigger her sensitivity like American flours do.
Thank you very much from Romania! My daughter in law was diagnosed a week ago with celiac disease. We will definitely try it.
Love this recipe, I leave my edges un-perfected because I think it adds so much more personality to my squashed lifeless flour paste! Also subbed the sugar in the sauce for stevia because this recipe is already extremely calorie dense (but so darn delicious)
Brian, you’re such a sweet hubby for making the best pizza your beautiful wife can eat! 👍🏻❤️ it looks amazing!
Great job Brian!! That pizza looks amazing and is just what I was looking for. I have been using the KA 1:1 Gluten Free flour with much success for several months now. Would this cook well in your Ooni Pro or would the dough not survive all of the movement (to the peel, then to the oven, then the rotations during the cook)?
I love this! going to try it tonight! Celiac disease has made it hard for me to find good pizza! my parents own a pizzeria and i have been playing around for years to find the best crust!
hi Brian. i’ve had celiac for 16 years and for the last 4 years i’ve been using an italian gluten free flour for almost all of my baking but especially pizza. it is on the spendy side but the gluten eaters in my life love it too. it’s Caputo Fiore Glut. It does have certified gf wheat starch in it, so folks allergic to wheat cannot eat it but celiacs can. I make boules, baguettes, bagels, pretzels, rolls, english muffins etc. Amazon carries it. this stuff performs like regular wheat flour so it’s worth the extra cost for me.
Thank you so much for this one! My wife is also gluten free and I do all the cooking. I try to make as many different kinds of foods as possible for her and try to give her as normal food experiences as I can. I'm absolutely going to try this one soon!
Great episode!
Bri, you're definitely my absolute fav Chef!!! Yummy! I'm not gluten intolerant but love everything you make.
Great recipe! My wife often bakes gluten free and this was the one recipe missing. I've ate pizza all weekend. Thanks!
Love your work
I will definitely be giving it a try. My BFF Jill is allergic and I have learned to make a multitude of things GF, but pizza has not been one. I'm pretty good with cookies, though. Every Christmas half of the recipes are either naturally GF or I sub in GF flour. The subbing doesn't ALWAYS work well, but when it does not even my fams can tell. This year everyone swore that the lemon drops were regular flour...sorry, folks, they totally weren't. I only tell the BFF which are which.
Great video as always Brian! Question: would you use this GF dough style in a Lloyd's pizza pan, and would you have any advice on how to bake it? I have tried using your 'Sheet Pan 2.0' dough recipe - swapped out with GF flour - in the Lloyd's pan. I pre-baked the crust for about 10 mins and then went back in with all of the toppings. I'm not above experimenting on my own, but would really appreciate your insight and expertise. Thank you!
This was really so good and easy to make:) Best GFree ive had!!!!

Thoughts of illness and disease will lead people closer to sickness and death. Happy Food videos are splattered with Glutten Fear Mongering. Almost every relaxing cooking video is now about Death due to Glutten. People just cant stop obsessing about Gluten. While 97% of the Third World have no choice but to eat food that has Glutten. Now they no longer enjoy meals because the Glutten crusaders are inside their head reminding them of impending disease and illness, which they can get from a freshly baked croissant or bagel. (Well not your post personally). Its just annoying when the last 10 videos you saw were all about Glutten awareness.

i love this vid! and u developing the perfect gluten free pizza for ur wife is so sweet💗 found a new comfort channel :D oot but ur wife is so pretty!
I've been working on GF pizza for years. I make a crust from rice flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder. A little teff flour gives it some color. I use a lower oven setting 400F. I start with more liquid in the dough, which makes it more of a batter. I put the batter on a greased pan. Gravity makes it uniform and round. I put the pan on the hot stone for several minutes to partly cook the dough. Then I pull that out, transfer it to my cornmeal treated peel, sauce, top, and back in the oven to finish directly on the stone. My crust comes out a little thicker and chewier, but still crispy on the bottom. I might try parchment next time. That looks like a good idea.

That’s a good looking pizza! My sister has celiac so we try to cook gluten free at family dinners. We bought Krusteaz last time we did pizza and it was really good. There’s two types of gluten free flour. One to one is for quick breads and there’s another all purpose for yeast breads. The krusteaz all purpose says it’s specifically for yeast bread. I will have to give your gluten free pizza a try!

Hey thanks for all the great pizza videos! I’ve started looking into getting all the utensils for making pizza. Is the 12” wooden pizza peel big enough or would you recommend going up in size. I noticed you have a bigger one.
I got diagnosed coeliac in my mid-thirties and pizza was one of the things I missed the most - and subsequently, one of the things we experimented with the most to try and get a good GF version. Speaking from experience there's nothing so good as having a supportive partner, so good on you, Brian! And on top of that for not being afraid to talk about mental health stuff, it's nice to see more and more men feeling willing to these days. Tips I've come across that might help anyone trying to find their perfect GF pizza: - It's not for everyone, since some coeliacs are more sensitive to tiny-PPMs of gluten than others, some GF people aren't coeliac but are just straight-up allergic, and some are actually allergic to wheat rather than gluten... but if the GF individual is OK with it the absolute best flour I've found is Caputo's Fioreglut (if you can trust anyone to make pizza accessible to gluten-free people it's Napoletani Italians, Italy in general is fantastic at catering for GF people). It's made from de-glutenised wheat starch, so it has the right flavour already, and they do some black magic to make it hold the gas from yeast so it rises properly and can be worked much more like normal bread. - Other flours I've found worked well for holding the gas in and producing fluffier crusts are ones which use hydroxy-methylcellulose as a binder - unlike a lot of the binders commercially used it seems to hold the gas in while the dough is proving rather than only once cooked. Here in the UK (and I believe most of the rest of Europe) Juvela White Mix is good for deep-pan-style pizza, and there are several other Italian brands specifically for making GF pizza which steer well clear of any gluten-containing ingredients entirely, if you can find them. - For thin-crust, rather than trying to slide the pizza around onto a hot steel or stone, we've been laying the disc of dough into a wide frying pan/skillet (I use a thin plastic-sheet cutting mat like a pizza peel to shuffle the pizza off the counter and into a 35cm/14" pan; baking parchment works too and requires less practice but sometimes the crispy base sticks to it) and cooking on a med-high heat for a few minutes until the dough starts to brown properly on the bottom, then dressing the pizza right there in the pan and transferring to a pre-heated hot-as-you-can-get-it grill (broiler) for a few minutes to cook the toppings with close-as-you-can super-high direct heat. You can stick most pans straight under the grill if they fit but we usually use a big spatula to slide it into a deep-pan pizza pan so we can make the whole family's worth in a queue. No lie, we selected our current oven specifically because the grill gets up to about 270C, a good 30-50C higher than many of the other options, just for cooking pizza. - For deep-pan you obviously need a dough that captures the gases, and then you make it so wet that it's half-way between a dough and a batter (~400-450ml water to 500g flour works for most of the ones we've used). Wait for it to rise (ours about triples in volume) and then using oil-covered tools to avoid dragging the dough one-third-fill a cake tin (for small pizze) or a deep pan dish (for large) that's been heavily greased, and use the oiled spatula to smooth the top out as much as you can. You need to treat it like a particularly firm cake batter that you've whisked bubbles into - dragging the dough breaks the bubbles and deflates it quickly, so you need to work gently and with a lot of oil so the tools don't stick. Then you bake your pizza at 240C or so for about seven minutes, take it out (it'll be firm but not fully cooked) and dress it with sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings right in the pan, then put it back in the oven for another five to ten minutes depending on how you like your pizza. (I used to be a peperoni fan too until I married an Italian and got informed in no uncertain terms that "peperoni" means "bell pepper" and since then I've been eating salami Napoli!)
Dude. Yes. This looks great!
Hey so i found i like to take this dough and put it is a oiled up cast iron pan and get the cheese all the way to edges. makes a really crisp edge of caramelized cheese and dough around it.
