Gluten-Free Cooking: Tips for the Best Pizza

• Gluten-free foods usually need to be baked longer than regular baked goods. A gluten-free pizza crust that bakes for longer than a standard pizza crust will have the same crispy bottom. 
• Baking powder is added to gluten-free pizza dough because, together with the yeast, it helps the dough rise even more.
• The psyllium husk powder is an essential ingredient that gives the crust a spongy, bread-like consistency.
• There are endless topping combinations that can be added to gluten-free pizza crust for a delicious gluten-free pie. Fresh mozzarella is a popular choice, but it’s far from being the only cheese you can add to pizza. And when it comes to meat and vegetables, there are no rules. If it sounds good to you, try it!
