Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (fat-free or low-fat)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg white, beaten (for brushing crust)
  • 8–12 Tbsp tomato or pizza sauce (2–3 Tbsp per pizza)
  • 12 Tbsp part-skim ricotta cheese (3 Tbsp per pizza)
  • 12 Tbsp shredded mozzarella (3 Tbsp per pizza, or less)
  • 8 tsp hot honey (2 tsp per pizza)
  • Dried oregano, for topping
  • Garlic powder, for topping
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Air fryer or oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Add Greek yogurt and mix until dough forms. Adjust with extra flour or yogurt as needed. Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth, then divide into 4 equal pieces.
  2. Roll each dough piece into a 4–5 inch circle using a floured rolling pin. Place each crust on a piece of parchment paper and brush lightly with egg white.
  3. Air Fryer: Air fry at 400°F for 5–8 minutes until lightly golden.
    Oven: Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of tomato sauce on each crust. Add dollops of ricotta and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  5. Air Fryer: Remove parchment paper and air fry 5–8 more minutes until cheese melts.
    Oven: Bake 5–8 more minutes until bubbly.
  6. Sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle generously with hot honey (about 2 teaspoons per pizza). Serve immediately.

Notes

Handle the dough gently—Greek yogurt crust is delicate. Remove parchment for the second bake to crisp the bottom. Ricotta and hot honey are the star flavors, so avoid overloading toppings.
