Lulù Gargari

Gluten-free pizzette are everywhere in Italy these days. Seriously. You’ll find them at kids’ birthday parties and chill aperitivo spreads with friends. And the best part? These little bites skip the usual dough-rising wait. It’s like magic. Using a mix of gluten-free flour, Greek yogurt, and instant yeast, the dough comes together really, really quickly. No planning ahead needed. So these gluten-free pizzette are pretty much perfect for last-minute hangouts or when you just need something tender, light, and delicious.

The toppings? Simple and classic. Passata, gooey mozzarella, and a sprinkle of oregano. Really gives you that authentic Italian pizza taste in a fun, bite-sized way. People love the soft bite—it’s not too heavy. Makes them a top pick for gluten-free appetizers. Great at parties, awesome for a quick snack.

Unlike some other gluten-free pizza bites or focaccine, these have a real pizza vibe—no need to stretch dough or wait forever. You get that golden, moist inside and edges that stay just right—crispy. People who avoid gluten swear this is the real deal, not just an alternative. Seriously good. Keep it simple with tomato and mozzarella or mix it up with toppings like prosciutto or roasted veggies.

Here's the thing: even folks who don’t eat gluten-free end up reaching for these—they’re really tasty. In Italy, these pizzette have become a go-to snack—quick and always fresh tasting. Perfect for busy days. No matter your crowd, a plate of gluten-free mini pizza makes everyone feel included. Nobody misses out on a soft, warm pizza bite just because of their diet. Can’t go wrong.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients for the dough (for 40 pieces): Gluten free flour mix 3 cups (350 g); Extra virgin olive oil 2 ¼ tsp (10 g); Greek yogurt 1 ¾ cup (420 g); Fine salt 1 ¾ tsp (10 g); Instant yeast for gluten free salted preparations 2 tsp (10 g)

for seasoning: Tomato purée 0.7 cup (150 g); Oregano to taste - dry; Fine salt to taste; Basil to taste; Mozzarella cheese 7 oz (200 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Gluten-free mini pizzas

To prepare the gluten-free mini pizzas, start with the dough: pour the flour mix and the extra virgin olive oil into a bowl 1, then add the salt 2 and the instant yeast 3.

Finally, incorporate the Greek yogurt 4. Mix with a fork to combine the ingredients 5, then transfer the dough onto the work surface and start kneading it with your hands 6.

You need to obtain a smooth and firm dough 7. The dough is ready and can be worked immediately, no resting needed. Lightly dust the surface with some gluten-free flour 8 and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until you get an even sheet about 1/8 inch (approximately 0.16 cm) thick 9.

With a round cookie cutter, about 2.75 inches (7 cm), cut out many discs 10 and arrange them neatly on the surface 11. The dough scraps can be re-kneaded, yielding about 40 mini pizzas. Transfer the discs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, well spaced apart, and brush the surface with extra virgin olive oil 12.

Season the mini pizzas with a teaspoon of tomato sauce in the center 13, add a pinch of oregano 14, and some mozzarella cubes 15.

Salt 16 and bake in a preheated static oven at 410°F (210°C) for about 20 minutes, until the mini pizzas are golden and the mozzarella is well melted 17. Take them out and serve still hot, finishing with some fresh basil leaves 18.

Storage

The gluten-free mini pizzas can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

Tip

For a melty result, make sure to drain the mozzarella well and dry it thoroughly. Alternatively to cubes, you can slice it thinly or crumble it with your hands, depending on the result you want to achieve.

For an elastic and well-workable dough, choose a gluten-free flour mix specific for bread or pizza.
