Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza (Gluten Free & Dairy Free)

This gluten free dairy free pizza recipe is also yeast free, and can be made vegan and paleo.

If you felt like you had to give up pizza because of food allergies or intolerances, think again! You can still make pizza without gluten or dairy, and it still tastes delicious.

Once you start nestling into this new healthy eating thing, you’ll realize you don’t actually have to give up as many things as you thought. You just have to learn a new way of making them differently. And there are many ways to do this, I promise you. 😊

Healthy alternatives to white flour

There are a lot of foods that can be swapped out for other more healthy alternatives.

With this gluten-free dairy free pizza recipe for example, instead of white flour you will use a gluten free alternative, and there are many of those available in your average grocery store these days. These gluten-free flours usually contain ingredients such as rice, corn, potato starch, tapioca starch, buckwheat, chickpea or others. White flour and gluten-free flour can generally be swapped in a 1:1 ratio as well. 

You can also use cassava flour which is made from a starchy tuber – aka a vegetable! which is lower in carbohydrates and other anti-nutrients than it’s wheat filled counterpart. Cassava flour is probably one of the closest things to wheat flour that I have found that does not contain grains. I provide substitutions below to make this recipe with cassava flour.

Product brands I recommend for this recipe
