Baking a gluten-free pizza without using any starches is a real challenge. Most commercial blends contain a high amount of starches to ensure a soft and fluffy pizza crust. This recipe, however, features a mix of millet and sorghum flour to create a “whole grain”-style crust.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegan, as it does not contain:
- Commercial blends
- Gums
- Dairy
- Eggs
However, the same recipe can also be made with rice flour and potato or corn starch. If you’d like to use these ingredients, check out this recipe: CLICK HERE.
Gluten free sourdough pizza crust
Using a sourdough starter instead of yeast allows this recipe to work without any added yeast. This makes it ideal for people who are allergic to yeast or prefer to avoid it. If you’re looking for a pizza crust recipe with yeast, try my quick 4-hour recipe: CLICK HERE.
For best results, the dough needs to rest in the fridge for at least 8 hours, though 12 hours is recommended. Afterward, allow an additional rising time of 4 hours once the pizza crusts are shaped. If needed, you can leave the dough in the fridge longer to fit your schedule—just make sure to take it out 4 hours before cooking.

Is the starter supposed to be fed or cold right out of the fridge ?
It has to be fed and active 😉

I tried making this and it sat in the frig longer than 12 hours, and my son had it on the counter then for another 6 or 7 hours before I knew, because he misunderstood the directions. So when I got to it, it was one big mushy pile that had no stretch at all. Did it overproof? Did being in the frig too long kill it? Can I put it back in the frig and add flour tomorrow to fix it?
The dough is supposed to be sticky and it needs to be flatten between two parchment papers with a rolling pin. You can try to add some rice flour on both side to stretch it a bit with your hands.
I would try to remix it by hand, then let it on the counter one hour and bake it (after having shaped it).
In the recipe ingredients you show 1/2 starter. Is that supposed to be 1/2 cup
Yes it’s 1/2 cup, thanks for your feedback!
