Gluten free pizza dough
Gluten free pizza dough made with gluten free plain flour, psyllium husk and apple cider vinegar in the Thermomix TM7. The kneading function develops a supple, workable dough without gluten, giving a crisp base with a tender bite. Ideal for homemade pizza nights when classic flour is off the menu, with rice flour keeping the rolling easy.
About this recipe
Gluten free pizza dough in the Thermomix TM7 is the recipe that finally makes homemade pizza night possible without wheat flour. Instead of gluten, psyllium husk and xanthan gum bind the dough together, while apple cider vinegar and instant yeast give it lift and a pleasant, mild flavour. Searching for a reliable gluten free pizza dough recipe often leads to crumbly disappointments, but the all-in-one kitchen machine removes the guesswork: you weigh the gluten free plain flour directly in the mixing bowl, then the TM7 kneads everything into a smooth, elastic ball that rolls out beautifully on a dusting of rice flour. This base bakes up crisp at the edges and tender in the middle, ready for tomato sauce, mozzarella and your favourite toppings. It is the ideal foundation for a quick weeknight dinner or a relaxed Friday pizza evening, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil adds a subtle richness. Whether you bake for coeliac family members or simply want to try something new, this dough delivers restaurant-quality results from your own oven.
Preparation tips
- Let the dough rest after kneading so the psyllium husk fully absorbs the warm water; this hydration step is what gives gluten free pizza dough its flexibility and stops it cracking when you stretch it.
- Dust your work surface and rolling pin generously with rice flour rather than gluten free plain flour; rice flour prevents sticking without making the dough heavy, and keeps the base crisp after baking.
- For a family-friendly pizza night, divide the dough into smaller portions so children can shape their own mini pizzas; store any leftover dough wrapped in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before rolling.
Recipe variations
- Dairy-free version: this gluten free pizza dough already contains no milk products, but check that your toppings are also dairy-free; use plant-based mozzarella and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a fully vegan pizza base.
- Festive herbed variant: knead dried oregano and garlic powder into the dough alongside the sea salt, then brush the baked crust with garlic olive oil for an Italian-style focaccia pizza perfect for parties and gatherings.
