This yeast-free personal pan pizza crust is just enough to serve one! It's also easy to make, quick to bake, and only FIVE ingredients!
You know you're a child of the 80s if you remember the personal pan pizzas, amiright?
Places like Pizza Hut and Little Caesar's offered the single serving option for those of us that didn't want a whole pizza.
I make this recipe when the rest of the fam partakes of Costco pizza, as the latter doesn't agree with me.
It's whole grain, easy, and quick, as there's no yeast involved. It's the perfect amount for one person, and it can easily be doubled if you're extra hungry.
Ingredients and substitutions
Only five simple ingredients are needed!
- Whole wheat or spelt flour - I've also used whole wheat pastry flour with good results, and I'm sure all purpose would work.
- Baking powder
- Sea salt
- Olive oil
- Water
Recipe steps
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
Stir in the oil, then add enough water to form a (non-sticky, but moist) dough. This amount varies, depending on the flour you choose. (Whiter flour typically means less water.) Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough to about 6 inches in diameter and add your toppings.
Bake the pizza for 7-8 minutes or until toppings are done to your liking.
Topping ideas
Some of my favorite toppings include:
Cheeses
- Mozzarella
- White cheddar
- Parmesan
- Provolone
Meat
- Pepperoni - I like turkey pepperoni.
- Ground beef
- Turkey Sausage
Vegetables
- Green bell pepper
- Red onion
- Kalamata olives
Obviously, there are many other things you can use, these are just some of my personal favorites.

I love this recipe! A healthy guilt free pizza recipe that tastes this good is what my life has been needing!
Beth
did you add the spinach raw before baking it? Or did you cook it first before adding to uncooked pizza
Lauren
In this case, I put it on after to keep the green color nice for pictures, but I usually add it before baking. 🙂
