Ingredients

For the base

  • 260 g yoghurt I use plain coconut yoghurt, but any plain yoghurt would work
  • 250 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt optional

Pizza toppings

  • 200 ml passata about half a carton
  • garlic infused oil
  • salt and pepper
  • half a ball of mozzarella
  • half a red pepper
  • a few slices of leftover pepperoni

Instructions

  • Add all your base ingredients into a bowl and mix together. I initially just do this with a spatula and then as it starts to come together I use my hands to ensure it's all pushed into a big ball.
  • Knead the dough briefly so it's smooth and combined (you might need a little flour if it's a bit sticky, it shouldn't be)
  • Cut the dough into 2 pieces.
  • On a lightly floured surface use a rolling pin to roll out your dough. I roll mine to just over 0.5cm thick in a fairly round shape. For the heart shape, I just use a sharp knife to lightly cut out the heart. If you have any leftover dough, you can use it to make flatbreads with, or freeze it for next time.
  • Heat up a frying pan - no oil needed.
  • Carefully lift up your rolled dough and place it in the heated frying pan (I like to use my cake lifter to lift the dough). Allow to cook on one side for a few minutes, you should start to see some puffing up.
  • Once some golden browning has occurred, flip the pizza base and cook for slightly less time on the other side. Once done, repeat with the other half of your dough (any excess dough can make a third pizza or a little garlic bread!) Place your bases onto a baking sheet.
  • Heat your oven to 200C Fan / 220C.
  • Mix together some passata with a couple of tsp garlic infused oil, some salt and pepper. Spread this sauce onto the base, leaving a little crust.
  • Thinly slice your mozzarella and add it to the pizza. Then top with pepperoni, your sliced up red pepper, or literally any other thinly sliced veg, ham, cooked meats etc. that you want. It's a great way to use up leftovers!
  • Place in the oven until the cheese has melted to your liking. Probably about 8-10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
