Ingredients

Scale

Low FODMAP Pizza Dough

  • ¾ cup warm water (100-110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar 
  • 1 (7 g) packet active yeast (or 2 and ¼ teaspoons), such as Fleishmann’s
  • 2 cups (290 g) Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1:1 Baking Flour (in the blue bag)
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) apple cider vinegar

Cheese Pizza Toppings

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a 12-inch pizza pan or pizza stone in the oven while it heats.
  2. Measure the warm water (100–110°F) in a liquid measuring cup. Check the temperature with a food thermometer. If the temperature of the water is not between 100-110°F, heat in the microwave or let cool on the counter until the temperature falls within the range.
  3. Once the water is within range, stir the sugar in, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  4. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. I just use a fork.
  5. Add the egg, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and yeast mixture. Mix with a dough hook on medium-low speed for about 1 minute. Pause the mixer and fold in any loose flour if needed. Continue mixing on medium-low for another minute, or until a dough ball forms.
  6. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper. With lightly oiled hands (I use a little olive oil), press the dough into an even 10-inch circle.
  7. Carefully transfer the parchment and dough onto the preheated pizza pan or pizza stone.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the crust begins to set.
  9. Remove the crust from the oven and slide out the parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust and top with mozzarella.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes more, until the cheese melts and the crust turns lightly golden.
  11. Cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
