This no-dough, dough-free or crustless pizza is a superb way to introduce a vast range of veggies into our diet. It is totally gluten-free, a low carbs pizza and packed with goodness. Quick to make and absolutely delicious. Great for sharing or to take out for a picnic.
A few days ago I came home from work, as hungry as a wolf. I opened the fridge and found some vegetables that were leftovers from the night before and I wasn’t sure what to make with them. I wanted something that was going to be ready as quickly as possible without me having to tuck it into the chocolate pot or dive into the sweets cupboard. This is how this dough-free pizza was born.
More about this crustless pizza
Here's what popped as an idea and I can tell you this totally gluten-free veggie pizza is wonderful, it has got that 'I can't have enough of it' written all over it- it is really moreish.
Additionally to the yumminess, this dough-free pizza is really easy to make and anyone can give it a go. If you have some cooked vegetables this will become a superbly fast dish to prepare.
The feta cheese in this gives that nice salty finish that complements the sweetness of the base making this a delicious and truly beautiful vegetarian pizza.
The potato, carrot, and egg crust might look like it's not going to stay together or be soggy, but don't worry for a minute. It comes out superbly. Just make sure, when spreading the base out, you do it evenly with no gaps and there will be no issues whatsoever.
The pizza base comes out nicely, as a result of the ingredients mix, especially the egg, which also helps with binding it nicely together.
The beauty about this pizza is that there is no flour involved making it a lot lower in carbs and obviously totally wheat and gluten-free!
Tips
This pizza is a great idea for a party as you can cut it into squares and serve it either warm or totally cold so can easily be prepared a good few hours in advance.
The base will be nice and sweet but if you don't want it so sweet use regular potatoes (2-3 medium ones) instead of the sweet one, after grating you may wish to squeeze the juice out otherwise it will become a bit too soggy. Also, you might have to cook it an extra 5 min.
The veggies you use can be different if you wish. Get your favorite ones out and go for it.
Also, meat can be added to this little chicken breast that’s been cooked in a pan or, alternatively, this can be a beautiful side to any cooked meat.
You can also feel really adventurous with the cheese by going for a nice blue cheese, gorgonzola, or mozzarella, just tuck in your favorite cheese to make it taste as if it has just popped down from heaven and yes, you could add to the egg mix a good couple of tomato sauce, a nice herby one that you would normally use for pasta.
Get crazy and adventurous with this no-dough pizza.

No-dough Pizza
Equipment
- bowl
- spatula
- ovenproof dish
- chopping board
- knife
- grater
Ingredients
For the pizza filling:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- 150 g cheddar cheese (grated)
- 10-12 small broccoli florets
- 1 small courgette
- 1 small red onion
- 1 small leek (or 2 baby-leeks)
- ½ red pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (to drizzle over the veggies)
- 80 g feta cheese (crumbled) (tro sprinkle over)
For the pizza base:
- 1 egg

- ½ teaspoon himalayan salt (or kosher salt)
- 2-3 springs thyme (fresh) or parsley, or dill
- ½ teaspoon italian herbs (dried)
- ½ teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 pinch pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 190 C and prepare two oven dishes. One for the base (approx 20 cm) to be baked in and the second to bake all the vegetables that will be used in the filling or topping, however you want to call it. i will call it filling only because there will be an extra topping which is the feta cheese.
- Try and prepare the base and filling at the same time so they can simultaneously go in the oven otherwise the cooking time will differ. So, wash, peel and chop all the veggies that go into the filling (onion, pepper, courgette, leek and broccoli). Put all in the prepared tray and drizzle the olive oil. Wash, peel and, in a larger bowl, grate (on big holes) the sweet potato and the carrot(s).
- Prepare the base by adding an egg and the remainder of the ingredients (salt, pepper, the dry and fresh herbs to the grated sweet potato and the carrot. Mix well and spread this in the oven dish lined with parchment paper. Make sure it is evenly spread and form some edges.
- Place both the filling and the base in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25' at 200 C.
- Meanwhile in a bowl, beat the 2 eggs, add the creme fraîche, the salt, pepper and the grated cheddar cheese.
- When baking is finished take both out.
- Place the filling baked vegetables on to the base by spreading them around evenly.
- Pour the egg mix over the veggies.
- Sprinkle the feta cheese over and place back into the oven. Bake further at 190 C for approximately 15 minutes.
- When ready, take out and serve.

This pizza crust turned out so good! It was flavorful and even with all the veggies, it didn't have an overpowering veggie taste. I'll be making it again!
Kristina says
We LOVE pizza and always make out dough homemade, but boy does it become a heavy diet when you make it multiple times a week. This recipe came out fabulous, you really couldn't tell the based was full of veggies. It's a really great alternative to constantly making doughy pizza but isn't ready to give up pizza all together.
