Ingredients

For the pizza base

  • 260 g yoghurt thick yoghurt - i use thick lactose free greek yoghurt but any will work
  • 250 g gluten free self raising flour
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum can omit if you're flour contains it, but if you have it, add it in anyway!
  • 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt optional

For the stuffed crust

  • mozzarella or cheddar I prefer cheddar!

For the pizza topping

  • passata
  • oregano
  • garlic infused oil
  • salt and pepper
  • cheese regular, dairy free, vegan or lactose free - whatever you usually have (I use mozzarella on top and a hard cheese like parmesan to sprinkle on the crust)
  • pepperoni I use a low FODMAP one from Sainsbury's

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 210C Fan / 230C.
  • Add all your 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)
  • At this stage I sometimes leave my dough for about 30 minutes. It's not necessary to do this but I find the texture of the dough can be even better when I do this!
  • On a lightly floured piece of non stick baking paper use a rolling pin to roll out your dough. I roll mine to around 0.5cm thick in a fairly round shape. The thinner the better in my opinion but not too thin that it's fragile! You want to roll it out bigger than usual as you need extra to fold over for the stuffed crust! I probably use about 3/4 of the dough for 1 huge pizza and then the other 1/4 makes a garlic bread!
  • If you want to make your pizza to be a certain shape, cut around the edge of it with a pizza cutter (i do this as I can't roll out in a round shape!!)
  • Cut up your cheese for the stuffed crust into strips and place it around the edge of the pizza in a circle. Do this about 2.5-3cm (just over an inch) from the edge. You need to give yourself enough of the pizza dough to fold over the cheese to make the stuffed crust.
  • Brush inside your cheese all the way round with either water or egg - this works as your glue to hold the crust down. Then carefully fold your dough over the cheese and press down to completely seal. You need to do this otherwise your cheese will escape. A little still might but you don't want it all escaping!! Take your time doing this as you don't want holes.
  • Slide your non stick baking paper, with the pizza on it, onto a pizza tray (I have a round one) and cook in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Whilst it's cooking, prepare your toppings. If you want to make a tomato sauce just mix up some passata, oregano, garlic infused oil and salt+pepper. Cut up or grate your cheese and any other toppings too.
  • After 5-7 minutes remove your base from the oven, it should have started to colour slightly on the crust. I've only ever had a tiny leakage of cheese and moisture at this point - if you have just leave it on the pizza and put the toppings on top of it, it tastes great.
  • Top with all your toppings however you like and place in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until cooked and golden :) My toppings = tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni and pecorino (or parmesan) sprinkled all over the crust!
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy!
