❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Good Gluten Free Pizza Dough

1. Can I freeze this gluten free pizza dough?

Yes you can freeze the dough after shaping it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking.

I recommend a blend that contains rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch. Avoid blends with bean flours as they can change the taste.
