Unbeatable Gluten Free New York Pizza Recipe

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still melting well.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is healthier.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber and nutrients.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add gluten-free bread flour blend, xanthan gum, psyllium husks, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Add room temperature water, 1 tablespoon honey, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Mix on low speed until fully combined, then increase to medium-high for about 5 minutes.

Scrape the dough into a mass in the bowl, cover, and let it proof for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Refrigerate the dough overnight to make it easier to handle.

After refrigeration, knead the dough to remove air bubbles and form a cohesive mass.

Divide the dough into pieces of roughly 6 ounces each for individual pizzas.

Roll out the pizza crust to about an eighth of an inch thick, using flour to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes with a pizza steel or stone inside.

Add corn flour to the pizza peel to prevent sticking, then fold the pizza crust and transfer it to the peel.

Spread homemade tomato sauce over the crust.

Add pre-shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, being careful not to overload with toppings.

Slide the pizza onto the pizza steel and bake for 6 to 7 minutes until bubbly.

Switch to broil for about 1 minute to finish cooking the pizza.
