Gluten free pizza base
A gluten-free pizza base made with raw almonds, arrowroot starch and eggs, ground and kneaded to a supple dough in the Thermomix TM7. Garlic powder, dried basil and apple cider vinegar add savoury flavour, while olive oil keeps the crust tender. Ideal for a homemade pizza night without gluten, ready to top with your favourites and bake until golden.
About this recipe
Gluten-free pizza base Thermomix TM7 recipes solve one of the biggest frustrations in a gluten-free kitchen: finding a crust that actually holds together. Traditional gluten-free doughs crumble, stick and disappoint, but this version relies on raw almonds ground into a fine flour and bound with eggs, arrowroot starch and olive oil, giving you a pliable dough you can shape with confidence. The TM7 all-in-one kitchen machine does the heavy lifting: the almonds are milled to an even consistency in seconds, and the kneading function works the dough until it is smooth and supple without you touching a sticky bowl. Seasoned with garlic powder, dried basil and a splash of apple cider vinegar, the base carries real flavour of its own rather than tasting like cardboard. It is the ideal starting point for a quick weeknight dinner or a relaxed Friday pizza evening, and because you control every ingredient, there are no hidden additives or mystery starches. Top it with fresh mozzarella, vegetables or cured meats and bake until the edges turn golden and crisp. Once you have mastered this base, takeaway pizza will rarely make an appearance again.
Preparation tips
- Grind the raw almonds finely before adding the arrowroot starch, eggs and olive oil, as an even almond flour is the key to a dough that rolls out without cracking at the edges.
- Let the shaped base rest briefly on a sheet of baking paper before topping; this makes it easier to slide onto a hot pizza stone or baking tray without tearing the centre.
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the base on its own until the surface feels dry, then add the sauce and toppings and return it to the oven for the final bake.
Recipe variations
- Dairy-free and nut-free variation: replace the almonds with sunflower seeds, ground in the TM7, and keep the arrowroot starch, eggs and olive oil for a school-friendly base suitable for nut allergies.
- Festive variation: add dried oregano and a pinch of chilli flakes to the dough, shape small individual bases and serve them as party pizza snacks at birthdays or drinks evenings.
