Gluten free pizza dough

[DrRiverSong]

I will be making my first ever gluten free dough tomorrow for pizzas with friends. I make lots of gluten full breads and other bits and I just wanted to check whether there is anything specific I need to watch out for to make sure I still get a good base. Do they need a longer rise, any special treatment etc?

i can just follow a recipe, but I just wondered if there are any particular tips is should have to make sure it’s as good as possible?

Reducing cross-contamination will be very difficult.

Ask your friend for her thoughts. If I were making it for my husband I would probably cook his first but also use baking paper/parchment under it if the pizza stone has been used before (i.e. is not a brand new stone)

If you do go for ready made, we had the White Rabbit pizzas recently (frozen aisle in Sainsburys) and they were great (cross-contamination thoughts still apply)

My daughter is GF and discovered this brilliant recipe - it’s so easy and no yeast or rising needed!

Pizza Dough that works with gluten free flour

Sorry - multi-tasking here - should have said we usually use Becky Excell recipes as a starting point

We make the one on the caputo gf flour pack and it's the best one I've ever had. We also part bake it (on parchment rather than directly on a stone) before adding toppings and re baking. It's so good!

We use Becky's recipe but also there a good GF company that does fresh pizza bases and now delivers nationwide. Good F'ing Pizza

Where do people get the Caputo GF flour? And do you use it for bread as well?

Caputo flour here too, make it 24 hours in advance and it tastes 'real'

I get mine from Amazon - I've not made bread with it but a lady on FB has and it looked amazing

Amazon, Ocado or in bulk from some online Italian delis. I have not made normal bread but there are recipes out there and I am sure it would be lovely. I have made focaccia though which is so good.

I should say it has gluten free wheat starch in it though so no good for those with a wheat allergy or who can’t tolerate that.

Haven't come across GF wheat starch yet - can coeliacs usually tolerate it?

This is very kind of you, however I second just getting the Schar gluten free base for easy and stress free life on both sides. The fun is in the toppings anyway! We did this for our kids and it worked a treat everyone still had fun in the communal baking. You're right to do your friends first.

I can't...I think I must be Wheat Intolerant as well as Coeliac. Learned the hard way from Juvela Prescription Bread about 12 years ago!

Guidance (such as Coeliac UK) says yes as it’s under 20ppm but some people’s personal experience is different.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I found the pre made gluten free bases in the supermarket and made my friend’s first. All went well and we’ve had a lovely day. Really appreciative of all the knowledge sharing!
