Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Crust

  • 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and position a rack in the center. Prepare a pizza pan or baking sheet by spraying it lightly with olive oil spray or a non-stick cooking spray, then set it aside.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to create a self-rising flour blend.
  3. Form the Dough: Add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry mixture. Using a fork or rubber spatula, mix until combined, then knead the dough with your hands for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth, cohesive ball. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle additional flour on your hands and the dough surface.
  4. Shape and Pre-Bake Crust: Press the dough onto the prepared pizza pan or baking sheet, spreading it evenly and shaping it into a pizza form by pressing from the center towards the edges. Place it in the oven and bake for 5 minutes to firm up the crust.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top, leaving about a 3/4 inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes or until the crust turns a perfect golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes after baking. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular all-purpose flour if gluten-free flour is unavailable.
  • Adding more pizza sauce or cheese is a matter of personal preference to customize flavor.
  • Sprinkling extra flour during kneading will prevent the dough from sticking and aid in shaping.
  • Letting the pizza cool slightly before slicing helps maintain the crust’s texture.
