Crafting the Perfect Gluten Free Pizza Night
For those of us living with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance, finding a truly spectacular pizza crust is often the ultimate culinary challenge. So many pre-made gluten free options on supermarket shelves resemble rigid cardboard or soggy, dense discs that fail to capture the true essence of a classic pie.
The gfJules Gluten Free Pizza Making Kits completely redefine what is possible in home baking. This system is designed around the widely celebrated, multi-award-winning gfJules Pizza Crust Mix. Rather than relying on heavy, gritty flours, this mix uses a meticulously balanced blend of starches and light grains that mimic the elasticity and pull of traditional wheat dough. The result is a highly adaptable dough that you can easily shape, roll, stretch, and rise.
Whether your household prefers a thin and crispy Roman-style crust, a thick and fluffy Detroit deep-dish, a stuffed-crust masterpiece, or even grilled calzones, this single mix delivers. Because the dough behaves so beautifully, you can even use it to bake soft Italian bread, garlic fingers, or artisan breadsticks.
Why the Crisper Pan is a Game-Changer
The secret to an exceptional gluten free crust is heat distribution. Gluten free pizza doughs inherently hold more moisture than their wheat-based counterparts. If baked on a standard cookie sheet, the centre of the crust can remain gummy while the edges overcook.
The gfJules kits solve this by bundling their signature mixes with professional-grade Pizza Crisper Pans. These pans feature a perforated bottom design that allows hot air to circulate directly underneath the crust while baking. This releases excess steam, locking in a beautifully blistered, golden-brown bottom while keeping the interior crumb light, airy, and perfectly chewy.
Are Gluten Free Pizza Making Kits Safe for Celiac Disease?
Yes, gfJules Gluten Free Pizza Making Kits are 100% safe for individuals with celiac disease.
When you have celiac disease, gluten free isn’t a lifestyle preference; it is a strict medical necessity. Many products on the market are processed on shared equipment or contain ingredients that pose a high risk of cross-contamination. gfJules takes celiac safety to the highest standard:
Certified Gluten Free: The mixes are certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO), testing consistently at 10 ppm (parts per million) of gluten or less—well below the Health Canada and FDA threshold of 20 ppm.
Strictly Dedicated Facility: Every bag of mix is produced, blended, and packaged in a strictly dedicated, certified gluten free, wheat-free, and nut-free facility. This entirely eliminates the risk of airborne cross-contamination during manufacturing.
Free From Top Allergens: In addition to being strictly gluten free, the mixes are kosher, vegan, and free from dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame, making them incredibly safe for multi-allergen households.
You can bake with absolute peace of mind knowing that these kits are designed from the ground up to protect your health while delivering an uncompromisingly delicious dining experience.
Gluten Free Pizza Kit Questions & Answers
What ingredients are in the gfJules Pizza Crust Mix?
The mix is formulated with high-quality, non-GMO ingredients: modified tapioca starch, potato starch, corn starch, white rice flour, corn flour, sugar, xanthan gum, salt, and yeast (packaged separately). It is completely free from wheat, dairy, nuts, soy, and preservatives.
Do I need any special equipment to make these pizzas?
While the kits come with the essential Pizza Crisper Pans and a detailed recipe eBook, you will only need standard household staples to prepare the dough: a mixing bowl (a stand mixer with a paddle attachment is highly recommended but not mandatory), measuring cups, plastic wrap or a damp towel for letting the dough rise, and your choice of oil and warm water.
Can I make the pizza dough dairy-free or vegan?
Absolutely. The dry mix itself is naturally vegan and dairy-free. The standard recipe simply requires adding water and oil. You are entirely free to top your pizza with your favourite dairy-free cheese alternatives and plant-based proteins to keep the entire meal 100% vegan.
Can the dough be frozen for later use?
Yes! You can easily prepare the dough ahead of time. Once mixed, you can freeze the raw dough ball wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Alternatively, you can par-bake (partially bake) the plain rolled crust for 8 to 10 minutes, let it cool completely, freeze it flat, and then top and finish baking it directly from the freezer whenever a pizza craving strikes.
How many pizzas does each kit make?
- Pizza Lover’s Pack: Includes 3 mixes and 1 pan, making at least 6 medium pizzas.
- Chef’s Kiss Pack: Includes 4 mixes and 2 pans, making at least 8 medium pizzas.
- Pizza Party Pack: Includes 8 mixes and 2 pans, making at least 16 medium pizzas.

Looking to learn how to make gfJules Gluten Free Pizza Making Kits? Let’s get baking!
Step One – Bloom the Yeast: 5-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of warm water or milk (about 40°C or 110°F), 1 packet of active dry yeast (approx. 2.25 tsp), and 1 tsp of sugar or honey. Let it sit undisturbed until a thick, frothy foam forms on top. If it does not foam, your liquid was too hot or your yeast is inactive, discard and restart.
Step Two – Mix the Dough: 5 minutes.
Pour your frothy yeast mixture into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 1 bag of gfJules Pizza Crust Mix, 2 tbsp of olive oil, and 1 egg or egg substitute. Mix on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes. The dough will be quite sticky and thick, resembling a very thick cake batter rather than traditional bread dough.
Step Three – Shape and Rise: 20-30 minutes.
Lightly oil your gfJules Crisper Pan (or line it with parchment paper). Transfer half the dough onto the pan. Using oiled hands or an oiled rubber spatula, gently press and spread the dough from the centre outward to form a 30 cm circle, creating a slightly raised border around the edge. Cover loosely with a clean, damp tea towel and let rise in a warm spot for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step Four – The Crucial Par-Bake: 8-10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Before adding any toppings, place your risen, plain crust into the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. This “par-bake” sets the structure of the gluten-free crust and prevents the sauce from soaking into the raw dough, which is the main cause of a soggy middle.
Step Five – Add Toppings and Final Bake: 7-10 minutes.
Remove the par-baked crust from the oven. Spread a thin layer of your favourite pizza sauce, sprinkle on dairy-free or traditional cheese, and add your toppings. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the crust are a beautiful golden brown.
