100gGluten-Free Flour(I Used Gluten-Free Self Raising Flour)
90gVegan Yogurt(I Used Soya Yogurt)
1TeaspoonBaking Powder
½TeaspoonSalt(Optional)
Instructions
You can either choose to make one big pizza with this dough that will serve 4, or you can make 4 small mini pizzas.
The first thing you need to do is to add the flour, baking powder, and salt (if using) in a large mixing bowl and stir the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon.
Add the yogurt and mix until the dough comes together in a ball. If it doesn’t come together, add 1 tablespoon more of flour and mix. Repeat until it comes together.
Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces if you’re making mini individual pizzas.
Roll each piece of dough into a ball or roll the full pizza dough into one ball if you’re making one big pizza.
If you are making individual pizza bases you can roll the dough on your kitchen surface. However, if you are making one large pizza base, I recommend shaping the pizza base directly inside the container you are using, whether that is a non-stick frying pan sprayed with oil, or greased parchment paper that fits inside your air fryer basket or on your oven tray. If you try and get a large shaped pizza dough from a counter into a container it is likely to break because it’s too large to hold in one hand and flip over. Push the dough into the correct shape using your hands
The pizza dough can get a little bit sticky and can stick to a rolling pin or your hands, so here’s how to avoid that problem. Add the dough for a mini pizza base to a large piece of greased parchment paper. Add another piece of greased parchment paper on top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough ball into a large circle shape. If you want a more rustic-looking pizza, you can use your hands to push the dough into the shape of a pizza. This is a very sticky dough so it is easier if you either use greased disposable gloves, or use wet hands to shape the dough if you’re not using greased parchment paper. Carefully remove the wrap or paper from the top of the dough by peeling it back slowly.
Next follow the instructions below to bake the pizza using your preferred cooking method.
Air Fryer
Add the shaped dough with the attached parchment paper directly into your air fryer so that the dough is sitting on top of the parchment paper inside the air fryer basket. If you don’t add it to parchment paper it will fall down the holes in the basket. Make sure none of the pizza bases are touching each other. You might have to bake them in batches depending on how big your air fryer is.
To add extra crispiness and golden color, spray the pizza dough with oil spray (optional).
Bake at 180C/ 360F for 3-6 minutes or until the pizza bases have a nice crispness and a slight golden color.
Oven
Preheat the oven to 180C/ 360F.
Add the shaped dough with the attached parchment paper directly onto your baking tray so that the dough is sitting on top of the parchment paper. Make sure none of the pizza bases are touching each other.
To add extra crispiness and golden color, spray the pizza dough with oil spray (optional).
Bake for 6-10 minutes or until the pizza bases are hard to the touch on the outside and have a slight golden color.
Pan
Make sure you are able to easily hold the mini pizza bases in your hand without them folding over and sticking to themselves. If the dough crumples up you can always re-roll it. I do this by sliding the rolled pizza dough straight off the surface and onto my hand to keep it flat.
Carefully and quickly turn the pizza dough upside down into the pan so the parchment paper is now on top of the pizza dough.
Carefully peel off the parchment paper which is now on top of the pizza base.
For large pizza bases, shape the pizza dough inside a cold pan by pushing it into shape with your hands instead of shaping the dough on your kitchen surface.
Add the large frying pan to a high heat (optional: Spray the pan with oil) and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden or until you are able to easily flip the pizza base without it sticking to the pan because it has hardened. Cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
If you want chargrilled marks make sure your heat is high.
To Serve
Add the pizza bases to a cooling rack. These pizza bases are lovely spread with a little no-cook marinara sauce, some roasted red peppers, and vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
Notes
Storage: The cooked pizza bases keep for up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. It also freezes well for up to 3 months. Defrost it before using it. Reheat it by warming it up gently in the air fryer or oven. However, for the best taste, serve immediately after making.
