This 5 ingredient Vegan Pizza Dough with Yogurt doesn't need time to rise! Made in 30 minutes after adding toppings.
The inspiration for this Vegan Pizza Dough with Yogurt came from watching the Kitchen on the Food Network. Sunny Anderson made a yeast-free pizza crust with Greek yogurt and self-rising flour.
I figured why not try it with rice flour and coconut yogurt? Since I didn't have self-rising flour, I added baking powder.
I added nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavor. I also added Italian seasoning because I love the flavor and always add it to my pizza dough.
I tried this recipe with both brown rice flour and white rice flour. I prefer the brown rice flour because it is slightly healthier, but you could use either one. Coconut yogurt adds a tangy flavor.
This gluten-free pizza dough takes only a few minutes to make, and you don't have to wait for the dough to rise.
I usually make the whole recipe, which makes two nine-inch pizza crusts. I put half in the fridge so that I can have pizza again a day or two later. The consistency is not the same as a dough with gluten. Instead of rolling it out, you spread it onto a parchment paper-lined pan.

🧾 Ingredients
- Rice flour: You can use brown or white rice flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Baking powder: To help the crust rise.
- Italian seasoning: You could also use basil and oregano or your favorite combo.
- Nutritional yeast: Adds a cheesy flavor.
- Salt: Enhances flavors. Add to taste.
- Vegan yogurt: I used unsweetened plain coconut yogurt. You can use any variety, just make sure it is plain and unsweetened.
- Olive oil: So the pizza crust doesn't stick.

Normally I buy pizza mix, but thought I'd try this because it doesn't need time to rise. I love it! I definitely think the nutritional yeast is needed to mellow out the yogurt, like you said. I will be making this again, thanks for the recipe!

Hello Willow 🙂 this is undeniably a very cool recipe. I tend to get lazy and use pre-made Vegan-friendly pizza dough - and yet I'm Italian! I should know better! I think I'll try yours next time, it must taste SO good 🙂

It is easy to be lazy about making pizza crust. I hope you like it!

Oooh, a pizza crust with yogurt. I've never done anything like that. But I had to give up gluten years ago. So this seems worth a try!
Willow Moon says
I love the tangy taste it gives. My favorite thing about this crust is that you don't have to wait for it to rise. I've been making it a lot lately because of that!
