12-inch low FODMAP or gluten-free pizza dough 3–4 tbsp low FODMAP basil pesto (garlic-infused oil, basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, lemon) 1–2 tsp garlic-infused olive oil (for brushing) 1–1¼ cups lactose-free mozzarella, shredded ¾–1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced small 1 small handful baby spinach 6–8 grape tomatoes, halved ½ tsp kosher salt ¼ tsp black pepper 1 lemon, for zest Fresh basil, for finishing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 500°F with a baking steel/stone for 30 minutes.If you lack a steel/stone, preheat an inverted sheet pan. Lay parchment on the counter; lightly flour it.
Roll the dough into a 12-inch round on the parchment.
Brush the dough with garlic-infused olive oil.
Spread 3–4 tbsp low FODMAP pesto in a thin, even layer.
Sprinkle on half the lactose-free mozzarella.
Scatter ¾–1 cup diced cooked chicken evenly.
Add baby spinach and halved grape tomatoes.
Top with remaining mozzarella; season with salt and pepper.
Slide parchment and dough onto the hot surface. Bake 8–11 minutes, until blistered and bubbling.
Rest pizza 2 minutes; zest lemon over the top. Finish with fresh basil; slice and serve.
Notes
Keep pesto to 3–4 tbsp per 12-inch pie for balance.
Reheat slices in a dry skillet or 375°F oven for crispness.
Freeze par-baked crusts and pesto in small portions for fast nights.
Swap chicken for turkey or shrimp; use lactose-free feta for variety
