Vegan Gluten free Pizza Crust Recipe
Dry:
3/4 cup Oat flour (use certified gluten-free if needed)
1/4 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/4 cup corn or potato starch
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp parsley
a dash of pepper
Wet:
1/2 cup warm water
2 tsp sugar or maple
2 tsp active yeast or 1 packet
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal or chia seed meal
2 tablespoons non dairy yogurt brought to room temperature(or use apple sauce or sweet potato puree)
1.5 tablespoons oil
In a bowl whisk all the dry ingredients for the crust and keep aside.
In another bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar and let it sit until frothy. 5 minutes. Add the flax and mix in. Let it sit for a minute.
Add the dry to the wet. Add in the yogurt and oil and mix well. Let the sticky dough sit for 10 minutes.
Using flour or oil on your hands shape the dough into a flat ball. Place ball on parchment lined pie pan or 9 to 10 inch pan pizza or deep dish pizza pan.
Spray water or oil on the dough, press with your hands and shape the dough to fit the pan with atleast 1/2 inch edge going up the sides. You can also use flour and roll the dough out between parchment sheets into a 9 to 10 inch round and then place in the pie pan.
Even out the edges and let it sit for 15 minutes in a warm place. I usually put it near the oven when the over pre-heats.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place another parchment on top of the pizza pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Uncover and remove the pie pan from the oven. Layer the sauce, toppings, cheese. Spray water on the crust edge.
Bake for 14 minutes. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the edges. Cool for a minute or so, slice and serve

Can this be made without the flaxseed? I haven’t purchased any yet as my kid is just going onto a egg-free, wheat free, milk free diet.
You can omit it. the crust might be slightly crumbly on the edges.
Hi, I was wondering if there’s a substitute for the yeast? Thanks

This crust actually is THE best. I’ve tried countless V GF recipes, but this one works perfectly; it holds the toppings well and doesn’t fall apart, not to mention the taste! You’re authenticity and creativity absolutely amazes me,Vegan Richa. I find your recipes innovative and just idk perfect. The amount of skill you have when it comes to creating vegan recipes that mimic omnivores’ food, is really something. I don’t think you get enough coverage or acknowledgement for all that you can do and make, like the cheeses etc. I even bought yo your cookbook,so I just want you to know how much I appreciate your blog bc it’s made veganism a breeze for me. Thank you.
Thank you so much Amanda!! <3
4 words: BEST PIZZA CRUST EVER! I have been GF for 3+ years now so I have been struggling to enjoy pizza. The ones from the pizza shops just weren’t right. Then, in December 2015, I made the decision to go vegan, so pizza was now something I knew I could never enjoy again. A GF pizza with NO CHEESE to mask the taste of the awful crust was just not going to happen… I had tried to make my own crust, but those did not turn out well… (tears may or may not have occurred at that time….) Then, by some miracle, I landed on your recipe…and OMG I don’t think I have been this happy in 3 years!! I have made your crust 3 times now, and every single time, tears of joy! It is delicious! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! You are awesome!
Yay! so glad you found the recipe and it turned out so well!
I’m so excited to have found your site!! Everything looks so good! Would this dough be appropriate to use for a calzone? Or do you have another suggestion? Thank you
This should work for calzones. You might have to use some flour while working the dough to shape. Let the shaped calzones rise for 5 to 10 minutes before baking.
Do you think the crest would survive without yeast?
Not this one. there isnt enough leavening without the yeast in this one. with additional baking powder, it would need some adjustments to the ingredients.

Great recipe! I made two in my 10″ deep-dish baking stones. I doubled the recipe, and substituted gluten free flour blend (Namaste) for the individual flours (just for the sake of convenience). I did not have vegan yogurt, so I made a quick applesauce in the blender from some mutsu apples. I did put a couple tablespoons of dried oregano in the crust – I’ve done this before, after trying a friend’s version who swears by it – It think I might just start swearing by it too!
Awesome! yes oregano in the crust is a great idea!
This crust is amazing! Thank you!
Thank you Jen!!
Question! Can you use brown rice flour instead of white rice flour?
yes you can use brown rice flour.
