Blueprint: The Ultimate Boston-Style Supreme Pizza – Gluten-Free & Flavor-Packed

Introduction & Concept

Boston-style pizza is known for its thick, chewy crust, slightly crisp edges, and generous layers of toppings. Unlike New York-style’s thin, foldable crust or Chicago’s deep dish, Boston-style pizza falls somewhere in between, offering a sturdy, doughy base that holds up to heavy toppings.

This gluten-free version brings the iconic Boston pizza experience to a health-conscious audience, packed with bold flavors, a rich tomato sauce, and an overloaded supreme topping selection.

Core Ingredients & Features

1. The Ultimate Gluten-Free Boston-Style Crust (Thick, Chewy & Sturdy)

• Almond Flour (1 ½ cups, rich & slightly nutty) – Adds structure & flavor.

• Tapioca Starch (½ cup, for elasticity & slight chewiness) – Gives a soft, bready texture.

• Psyllium Husk Powder (1 tbsp, improves stretch & bite) – Provides fiber & gut-friendly benefits.

• Eggs (2, for moisture & binding) – Helps structure without gluten.

• Olive Oil (2 tbsp, enhances crispness & depth).

• Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tsp, for slight fermentation & dough flexibility).

• Himalayan Salt (½ tsp, balances flavors & enhances chewiness).

2. Rich, Herb-Infused Tomato Sauce (Deep, Bold Flavor)

• San Marzano Tomatoes (2 cups, crushed) – Naturally sweet, rich, and flavorful.

• Tomato Paste (1 tbsp, for concentrated umami depth).

• Parmesan (¼ cup, finely grated, umami boost).
