Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour – or regular all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce – or more if needed
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position one of the racks in the center. Prepare a pizza pan or baking sheet by spraying it with olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside.
  2. Make self-rising flour mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning thoroughly.
  3. Form the dough: Add the plain Greek yogurt to the flour mixture. Using a fork or rubber spatula, mix until combined, then knead the dough with your hands for 2-3 minutes until you form a smooth dough ball. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle additional flour on the dough and your hands to manage stickiness.
  4. Shape and prebake the crust: Transfer the dough onto the prepared pizza pan or baking sheet. Use your hands to press and spread it into a pizza shape, starting from the center and working outwards to form a flat, even base. Bake this crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to set.
  5. Add toppings and bake: Remove the par-baked crust from the oven. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the crust, leaving about a 3/4 inch border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and serve: Once baked, let the pizza cool for 5 minutes to allow the crust to set properly. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can prebake the dough for an additional 2 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Use gluten-free all-purpose flour to ensure the recipe is safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour incrementally to make it easier to handle.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like vegetables or pepperoni to customize your pizza.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed fresh but will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
