What Makes A Great Pizza Crust?
Crust isn’t just a base. It’s the backbone of your entire pizza. The perfect crust is chewy but crisp, strong enough to hold your toppings without folding like a paper plate. It also must be flavorful enough to stand on its own. It should be baked to perfection, hold up as many toppings as you want, and give you that just-right bite every time.
As classic Italian pizza chefs, we know gluten plays a role in building that structure in traditional crust. However, after testing many variations, we’ve also figured out how to get that same delicious result without it.
How We Make Our Perfect Gluten-Free Crust
Sure, we start with a rice flour base, but what really sets our gluten-free crust apart is the precision in how it’s made. Every detail matters, from the water content to the dough temperature during kneading to rest time, all play a role in the final result.
Since gluten-free dough behaves differently, it needs less kneading and more rest. Our method allows the ingredients to bind and the texture to develop without becoming tough or crumbly. We also carefully balance the hydration so the crust stays crisp on the outside and tender inside. Then we bake it hot and fast, so it browns beautifully, holds its shape, and delivers the same satisfying bite you expect from any great pizza crust.
