How to Make Grain Free Everything Dough:
You will need:
- blanched almond flour, this is finely ground and great for baking
- tapioca flour, I use this one that is organic
- potato starch, this one is also organic
- xanthan gum, this one is grain-free, no corn
- salt, I like buying this in bulk for baking
- egg white, from 1 large egg
- light olive oil or organic shortening
- warm water
- honey
- active dry yeast, be sure to store yeast in a sealed container in the fridge
This dough is made with blanched almond flour, organic tapioca flour and organic potato starch by Anthony Goods, all certified gluten free. This is my new favorite brand of grain-free flour.
This recipe uses yeast and xanthan gum to ensure a proper texture. The texture of the dough feels very similar to a gluten dough.
The pizza comes out great, pita bread is amazing, empanadas are fabulous and cinnamon rolls have a very nice texture.
You can even make this grain free everything dough ahead of time and just roll it out the day you are baking. It can be stored for a few days in the fridge.
I use xanthan gum in this recipe to improve texture, Authentic Foods Xanthan Gum is corn free and grain free.

Have you ever adapted this recipe to make pasta? It feels like it would work. Maybe I simply want it to work too badly, hehe.
I have not but I have a very easy grain free pasta recipe on my blog that I think you would love. I would just recommend rolling it as thin as possible. It is delicious. https://nurturemygut.com/gluten-free-pasta.html/
Thank you for the recipe. Just what I needed. I as wondering if you would have gram measures for this recipe. I have a problem with the type of yucca flour I get in France. Thanks in advance.
Hello, Is there anything you know of I could exchange the potato and tapioca flour with that is Keto, please? Thank you so very much!
Hi Marie. I do not have a 1 to 1 flour substitute for potato and tapioca flour. I did some research and found that Keto friendly flours are: Almond flour. Almond flour is probably the most widely used keto flour substitute,Coconut flour,Chia flour, Flaxseed meal, Psyllium husk powder. oat fiber, Lupin flour and Pork rind dust. I will try to add some keto friendly baked goods on my blog.
I made this recipe right away after finding it. FYI it did not taste yeasty. It didn’t really rise (may be old yeast) but I wanted a flat bread anyway. I was out of almond flour so used chickpea flour instead. I flattened the dough into about 4 inch circles, topped it with some bagel seasoning (didn’t bother with the egg white) and baked it at 400 F. for about 12 minutes. It was delicious with the big pot of soup I made. If you can’t have yeast or honey, I would try baking powder and monkfruit, or other healthy natural sweetener. I have made these substitutions before, and they worked great…that being said all the used were for a flat bread or pizza dough, not anything ‘loafy’. And, yes, this recipe goes well with a sweet type filling, figgy spread, mincemeat, apple pie filling or just make some small circles, fold in half and stuff with strawberry jam. Yum!! Thanks for this recipe. It is so much easier than other gluten free recipes I have. It will be my go-to recipe for non-rising type breads from now on.

Wow! So glad to hear you are enjoying the recipe and for sharing your substitutions! You are very welcome!
Hi!
Can you substitute flour in this recipe. I can’t not have almond or eggs? Please advise! I greatly appreciate it thanks
Hi Mona,
If you see some of the previous comments, Sandy used chickpea flour instead of almond. I have not used an egg substitute before. Best of luck!

Is there a substitute for potato starch, that is not corn , oats, or rice?
You can use tapioca starch.
Is the yeast used just for flavor or does the dough actually rise? I have yeast that doesn’t appear to be active( no bubbling )and am wondering if I need to go buy more. Thanks so much!!
Yes, the yeast will slightly rise. If there are no bubbles, it is not active. Next time, keep yeast should be kept in the fridge to keep it fresh. Best of luck! Ester
Hi
Can this dough be used for sweet filling pastry/ cakes/ cookies and for salty stuffing as well?
I would gladly make it, but I CANNOT use YEAST whatsoever ( they are fungus) nor honey.
Please inform whether there is another way to make this dough
MINUS yeast or honey….
Thank you
Hi Oree,
The dough needs yeast to rise. I do not think it will work without it. I do have pastry crust recipes on my site that are yeast free and can be used for empanadas.
Hello,
Can the dough be left out overnight or will it go bad?
I would not recommend that or it will taste yeasty.
