Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour (divided)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (any fat percentage)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dry Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  2. Combine Dough: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Stir initially with a spatula to begin combining, then use your hands to knead the mixture into a cohesive ball of dough. Knead approximately 20 times to develop the dough's structure.
  3. Knead and Shape Dough: Lightly flour your countertop with the remaining 1/4 cup flour, transfer the dough onto it, and continue kneading until the dough absorbs all the flour and is no longer sticky. Use a rolling pin or your hands to roll it out into a pizza crust of your desired thickness. Transfer the crust onto a lightly floured baking sheet or a pizza stone prepared for baking.
  4. Add Toppings: Spread marinara sauce evenly over the crust. Add your favorite toppings and shredded cheese to your liking for a personalized pizza.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is cooked through with lightly golden edges.
  6. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then cut into 8 slices. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Greek Yogurt Pizza!

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • The dough does not require yeast, so it’s much quicker to prepare than traditional pizza dough.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Use any fat percentage Greek yogurt you prefer; whole milk Greek yogurt will yield a richer dough.
  • For crispier crust, consider baking on a preheated pizza stone.
