Crust Ingredients

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all the water.

  4. 4

    Form the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour to prevent sticking). Gently knead the dough a few times until it holds together.

  5. 5

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
