Vegan Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Recipe
January 15, 2022
I'm making a vegan, gluten-free pizza crust for my son this morning and this time, I'm recording my recipe and what steps I took. I'm not using tomato sauce for this recipe to lower the acid for easier digestion for my little guy.

Ingredients:
- 1 packet of Fleischmann's RapidRise Instant Yeast Fast-Acting (this one doesn't require proofing ahead of time). When you go to the grocery store, they usually sell them in a pack of 3 so you just use one of them. You can buy the same product here: Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Instant Yeast Fast Acting 0.25 Ounce, 3 Count (Pack of 2)
- Dough: 1 cup of white rice flour, 3/4 brown rice flour and 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Flaxseed meal mix: 1 tablespoon of flaxmeal seed + 2 tablespoon of water (this replaces 1 egg)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of water
Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix the 3 ingredients (see dough ingredients above) for the dough with the 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl.
- Mix in the flaxseed meal mix (see the 3 ingredients above for this), olive oil and apple cider vinegar in the same mixing bowl.
- Mix in the Fleischmann's RapidRise Instant Yeast Fast-Acting in the same mixing bowl.
- Add about 1 cup of water to the dough and mix it. I mix in the water little by little as I'm mixing the dough to gauge the texture.
- Knead the dough and shape it into a round 1/2 inch thick size (or to your preference of thickness) and place the dough directly to the stone or pizza pan. I find that this is the best way because the gluten-free dough is very sticky and would stick to any paper like glue. My aunt had gifted me a Pampered Chef stone for baking pizza and so this is my preference when baking a pizza but I'm sure you can use a baking pan or pizza pan too.

- When the oven is at 425 degrees and ready, bake in the oven for 20 minutes total. If you are adding toppings, bake for 10 minutes first, then add toppings and finish the last 10 minutes in the oven.
