This gluten-free pizza dough can be rolled out, just like traditional wheat dough. You can make a thin crusted New York style pizza or thick crusted Chicago style, you decide. The crust is parbaked (partially baked) before adding toppings. After parbaking, crusts can be cooled, wrapped and frozen for convenience or, load with your favorite toppings and bake about 12 minutes longer.

If you like your pizza crusts crispy, use a preheated pizza stone. The stone absorbs moisture from the crust during baking. Included in this recipe are suggestions for vegan and dairy-free substitutes.
