Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 120 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 120 grams (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) firm Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Topping
- 3 tbsp pizza sauce
- 3 tbsp shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the pizza crust to a golden perfection.
- Combine dough ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, olive oil, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir quickly until the mixture forms a dough. If the dough feels sticky, add more flour gradually; if too dry, add a little more Greek yogurt.
- Knead dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently to form a soft, elastic dough ball, making sure it is smooth and workable.
- Roll pizza dough: Using a rolling pin and your hands, shape the dough into a roughly 15 cm (6-inch) round with the edges slightly thicker than the center. Sprinkle additional flour on the surface if the dough sticks.
- Spread tomato sauce and mozzarella over pizza: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake in hot oven: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust turns golden brown.
- Eat: Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and enjoy your homemade Greek Yogurt Pizza immediately – buon appetito!
Notes
- You can use store-bought pizza sauce or homemade tomato sauce for the topping.
- Adjust the amount of flour or yogurt as needed for dough consistency depending on yogurt moisture content and flour type.
- For a crispier crust, place the pizza on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- Mozzarella can be swapped with other cheeses like cheddar or vegan cheese for variation.
- This dough recipe is best used fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
