Ingredients

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes)
1 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
toppings of your choice

Instructions

Place large sweet potato in your inner pot of instant pot and pour enough water to cover the potato. Close the lid and seal the valve and turn it on at high manual for 10 minutes. Once done, release the pressure and open the lid. Let it cool down and when its easy to handle drain the water. Peel the sweet potato and measure it to 2 cups after roughly mashing it.
Preheat oven at 375-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a pizza pan with a round parchment paper (parchment paper should be of the same size and shape as the pan). No extra parchment paper should be hanging off the pan. You may spray the pizza pan with cooking spray and then stick the parchment paper so it does not move while shaping the dough.
In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown rice flour, baking powder and salt. Mix it well and make a soft smooth dough with the help of your hands.
Place the dough at the center of the prepared pizza pan and place another parchment paper on top of the dough. Gently press the dough from the center through the parchment paper and roll it round with a rolling pin until the edges start to break. Remove the parchment paper from the top of the dough gently and shape the dough round with your hands making sure to seal the edges at the same time while shaping it. The dough would be approximately about 10 inch in diameter. If you want a thinner crust you may keep pressing and shaping the dough round until it is 12 inches in diameter.
With the help of a fork poke holes at the center of the crust at intervals. Place it in the middle rack of the oven and bake it for 15 minutes.
Take it out and add your choice of toppings. Place it back in the oven and bake for another 15-17 minutes or until cheese is well melted. Change the oven setting to broil and broil it only for 2 minutes. Do not over broil or else your pizza will burn. Turn it off and take it out. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

2 cups mashed potatoes is required for this recipe. So, make sure to measure the potatoes after boiling and mashing. 1 large sweet potato or 2 medium potatoes should be enough for this recipe.
For 1 large sweet potato the timer for heat setting for your instant pot will be 10 minutes and for 2 medium sweet potatoes the timer heat setting would be 15 minutes.
Broiling the pizza is optional but it gives a nice charred flavor to the veggies and the crust thereby making the edges crispy. You may however, skip broiling ad bake it for extra 5 minutes.
This taste best when served immediately. However, the leftovers can be refrigerated in an air tight container for 2-3 days and oven toast it for 5 minutes. You may re-bake at 350-degree Fahrenheit for 8 minutes too.
You can also freeze the leftover slices in a single layer in a freezer friendly box for about 1 month. Oven toast for 6 minutes or re-bake at 350-degree Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
The nutritional value of the recipe is provided only for the crust. It will vary depending on your choice of toppings.
