Sweet potato pizza ingredients
Can you believe this sweet potato pizza crust recipe calls for just 2 ingredients? Honestly, it doesn't get easier than this!
Here below you can find my ingredient recommendations:
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour, for a gluten-free pizza crust you can substitute it with oat flour. For a more Italian pizza dough vibe, you can use ⅔ of flour and ⅓ of semolina flour.
- Seasoning: I like to season the dough with sea salt, black pepper and freshly dried oregano leaves. But feel free to customize it with your favorite spices!
- Sweet potato: I use cooked and pureed American sweet potatoes. Steam, bake, or roast the potatoes until soft, then blend them to make sweet potato puree.
- Toppings: I used marinara sauce, mozzarella and arugula. Other favorite toppings include Parma ham, sauteed mushrooms, ham, tuna flakes, olives, sundried tomatoes, and burrata cheese. Use any of your favorite ingredients!

Recipe
Sweet Potato Pizza - 2 ingredients!
Ingredients
Sweet potato pizza dough:
- 220 g all-purpose flour
- 200 g sweet potato puree, see notes
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt and black pepper
- a pinch of dried oregano, optional
Toppings:
- 100 g marinara sauce
- 1 ball mozzarella cheese, well drained
- a bunch of arugula leaves
- ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/360°F and adjust a baking rack onto the middle shelf.
- In a large bowl mix ⅔ of the flour with the sweet potato puree. Season with salt and pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano (optional).
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface, sprinkle the remaining flour on top and knead with your hands until you have a smooth, elastic dough. If it's still too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour and continue kneading for a few seconds.
- With the help of a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large disk and transfer to a large baking tray covered with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Spread the marinara sauce over the base, and top with mozzarella chunks.
- Return the sweet potato pizza to the oven and continue to bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, top with arugula leaves, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
Notes
-
- Steam: Simply place halved sweet potatoes in a steamer, and steam for 10-15 minutes or until soft.
- Air-fry: Pierce the sweet potato all over with a fork, then cook in the air-fryer for 35-40 minutes at 180°C/375°F.
- Roast: Use a fork to poke holes all over the sweet potatoes, place them on a baking sheet, and roast for 40 minutes or until fork tender at 180°C/375°F.

Wanted to try this recipe but I can’t find what temperature to cook the crusts at. I see it says 10 minutes and then 10 more minutes but there’s no temperature.
Andrea says
Hi Sarah, thank you for spotting this! I have now included the oven temperature into the recipe card, you'll need to bake the sweet potato pizza at 180 C/360F.
