🌟 Pizza: Tips & Tricks 🌟

Before you tackle pizza, take a moment to know the basics.

Gluten-Free Pizza

Pizza is the golden unicorn of the gluten-free world. It's one of the first questions people ask when they start a gluten-free diet: "Can I have pizza?" The answer is yes, no, and maybe.

Eating Out: A Risky Business

Eating pizza at a pizzeria is very risky. As of now, there is no safe place to get gluten-free pizza in a restaurant in Singapore. The amount of wheat flour in the air, on surfaces, and on utensils in any kitchen offering gluten-free pizza makes the risk of cross-contamination very high.

Making Pizza at Home

• Pre-Made Pizza Bases

  You can order gluten-free pizza bases from places like The Whole Kitchen, Schär, and other suppliers. Just add your favorite toppings and bake at home.

• From Pre-Mixed Base

  If you are new to gluten-free baking, start with a pre-measured packet mix, Bob's Red Mill Mix is a great option. Check out the tutorial video below for a step-by-step guide.

• From Scratch

  Get your measuring scale out! Mixing your own flour blend lets you control the exact ingredients. Try our Crispy Pizza Crust Recipe or Caputo recipe.

  Big Tip: When making any recipe for the first time, follow instructions exactly as written. Do not make any substitutions or adjustments until you know how the original recipe will turn out.

Tips for Perfect Gluten-Free Pizza

• Par-Baking

  Gluten-free pizza bases don't have the gluten structure that holds toppings in place before baking. Always par-bake the crust first, then add toppings, and bake it a second time.

• Avoid Sogginess

  Don't put sauce on an uncooked gluten-free pizza base, as it will get soggy. The exception is the Caputo Italian gluten-free pizza flour blend, which contains gluten-free wheat starch. This allows you to top the pizza and bake it all at once.

• Pizza Stone

  Invest in a pizza stone. Use it exclusively for gluten-free pizza to get a really crunchy and delicious crust. Be sure to heat it in the oven to full baking temperature before putting pizza dough on it.
  If your stone has been used with wheat products in the past, use baking parchment as a barrier.
