Today I’m working with my favorite company, Bob’s Red Mill. I want to share with you one of their new specialty baking mixes, it is a grain free, flat bread mix, and it’s one you’ll use over and over again. Bob’s Red Mill Grain Free Flatbread Mix is made with really simple ingredients like cassava flour and almond flour. It’s both gluten free and grain free AND it’s delicious. It’s easy to make and my kids didn’t even bat an eye when I served them pizza made with this mix.
You may not eat a strictly gluten free diet, but you may know someone who does. I love keeping a few gluten free mixes on hand so that when I need to make something gluten free it’s ready for me! You can also try my fathead cracker recipe that is gluten and grain free!

Three Reasons I love this Baking Mix
- I keep it on hand for when I need a gluten free option for friends or family. My father-in-law is gluten free and my sister-in-law is grain free, so having a mix on hand makes prepping something extra for them a breeze.
- I love that this mix is grain free. I’ve done a bit of cooking with almond flour and cassava flour and I really like them both. I don’t eat a lot of grains and when I do I try to make sure they have been through the sourdough process (I digest them much better that way), and if I don’t have something like that on hand, I can use this mix!
- I love that the mix can be made into flatbread, buns, pizza, wraps, and more. It’s really robust and there are lots of recipes on the Bob’s Red Mill website.

Recipe FAQs
One that you make at home, is easy to make, and turns out each and every time! That’s why using a mix is so nice, you don’t have to have all of the specialty ingredients that can get expensive! I love using Bob’s Red Mill Grain Free Flatbread Mix for making pizza because it always turns out great for me.
That’s the beauty of making pizza at home, you can put on whatever you like! It’s so much easier to make pizza at home that fits your dietary needs too. If you need this pizza to be vegan, vegetarian, dairy, or nightshade free, you can do that! We like traditional toppings like pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. We also like garlic oil, fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and loads of basil. The possibilities are endless!
The taste is awesome. I added a little garlic and onion powder to the mix to make it taste a bit more like pizza. The texture is unique too. It is less chewy than traditional pizza (the gluten is where the chewiness comes from) and the texture is a bit more coarse, and while not crumbly, it feels a little crumbly in your mouth.
Expert Tips
- When shaping the dough, wet your hands to prevent sticking and ensure an even, smooth crust.
- Pre-baking the crust for 10 minutes ensures it becomes crispy and holds up well under the toppings.
- Experiment with a variety of fresh toppings like vegetables, basil, or different cheeses to keep your pizza exciting and nutritious.
- If broiling the pizza, keep a close eye on it to avoid burning the cheese, ensuring just the right amount of browning.
How to Serve and Store Gluten Free Pizza
Pair your pizza with my berry spinach salad with citrus poppy seed dressing, arugula salad, or beet salad for a fresh side. Try my gluten free almond flour chocolate chip cookies bars or gluten free gingerbread cookies for dessert!
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. For a quicker option, reheat in the microwave, though the crust may not remain as crispy.
