Notes

Beat the dough well

The instructions in the recipe card refer to beating the dough in your mixer until it begins to look “whipped” in appearance. The dough will at first come together around the paddle attachment. Keep mixing on a high enough speed, and it will begin to stick to the sides of the bowl and look more aerated. Here's a short video to show you exactly what it looks like:

Rest the dough in the refrigerator

After you've made your raw pizza dough, let it rest in the refrigerator. That allows the flours to absorb the moisture of the water, leaving the dough still hydrated, but making it much less sticky. Cold dough is a lot easier to work with than warm dough, so it's best to work with it right out of the refrigerator.
Working with sticky dough

If your dough is still a bit sticky because you can't afford the time to let it rest more, or it's not cold enough, sprinkle it with more gluten free flour, and handle it with a light touch. You can also oil your hands.
For chewier dough

Try replacing 1/4 cup (36 grams) of the all purpose gluten free flour blend with Expandex modified tapioca starch or regular tapioca starch/flour. Add 1 1/2 fluid ounces more water if you use Expandex (but not if you use regular tapioca starch).
Parbake the crust

Try partially baking (“parbaking”) the risen, chilled and shaped crust at 400°F for 7 minutes. Let it cool, wrap tightly, and use it later in the day or even the next day.
