This Gluten-Free Corn Free Pizza Dough recipe is a hit with the whole family! This recipe makes 1 large or 3-4 individual pizzas.
Every year my family packs up and lives in a Southern California hotel room for 4 weeks for my husband’s job. To some this may sound like a dream come true; eating out every day, housekeeping makes your bed and enjoying 75 degree weather when it’s in the teens at home. There of course are some perks, but after about 7 days the novelty wears off. Especially when your trying to eat gluten free & corn lite. My daughter and I do not feel very good by the end, but now we are finally home and I’m back in my kitchen trying new recipes and cooking with whole food again.
My 2 year old just discovered that she likes pizza. However, being that she has a corn intolerance getting pizza at a restaurant is tricky. The only restaurant I know she can eat pizza without any issues is California Pizza Kitchen. When we are home I want to make something everyone can eat; pizza dough that is gluten free and corn free, not to mention tastes good! Tonight I adjusted a few ingredients to my old gluten free pizza dough recipe to make it corn free while still maintaining a consistency that is easy to roll out just like the gluten filled kind. I must say, I am pretty excited about this new recipe!

Is it possible not to use the gelatin in the recipe?
Agar agar will substitute nicely.
Looks amazing, going to try today.
Haven't used agar agar before & the accounts of how much to substitute fur gelatin seem to vary considerably so could you offer any advice on amounts please 🙂
Thanks!
Kate
Also, would can't gun
Also, would xanthium gum substitute for guar gum? And, if so, are the proportions similar?
Thanks
Xanthum gum and guar gum are interchangable equal amounts. And I have just left gelatin out and it works just fine. Gelatin as a binder doesn't work well in back goods. As in jello, gelatin doesn't become firm till chilled. So for doughs it doesn't bring much to the party as a binder ingredient.
Xanthan gum, incidentally, is usually derived from corn sugar. So while it may be interchangeable, those with allergies or an intolerance should stay away.
I followed this recipe to the letter and it looked and felt nothing like the picture you posted of a perfectly smooth dough.
josee, I agree, very few of my GF foods look like the picture, sometimes wonder where these photies appear from!
Thank you so much for this post! Several members of our family are gluten and corn free, which makes any kind of bread, cake, or dough difficult to work with. We will be trying out this recipe!
MIne looks like a a regular flour dough very impressed,,, rising and will let you know in about an hour going to pre bake. and take later to a pizza place restaurant for a get together. They put toppings on it and finish baking it . Great place Bud Murphy’s connesville pa… .
Can this recipe be used to make carmel or sweet rolls?
we haven’t tried it, but we’d love to know if you do!
