Description

A delicious gluten-free pizza crust that can also be made with regular all-purpose flour.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour – or regular all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce – or more if needed
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place one of the racks in the center of the oven. Spray a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
  2. Make the self-rising flour by mixing the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a medium size mixing bowl.
  3. Using a fork or rubber spatula mix in the Greek yogurt with the self-rising flour and use your hands to knead the dough to form a smooth dough ball. This takes 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle some flour over the dough and onto your hands if the dough is sticky.
  4. Spread the dough onto the greased pizza pan or baking sheet using your hands to press it into a pizza shape. Pressing the dough from the center to the edges of the pan is the easiest way to do this. Then pre-bake it for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  5. After 5 minutes, remove the pizza crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce in an even layer all over the pizza, leaving a 3/4 inch edge, then evenly spread the cheese over the top then bake for 15-17 more minutes, until the crust is perfectly golden.
  6. Let it cool for 5 minutes, slice, and serve!

Notes

  • Can be made with regular all-purpose flour if gluten-free is not required.
  • Adjust the amount of pizza sauce to taste.
