Ingredients
Pizza Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 3 cups Self-Rising Flour*
*Self-Rising Flour: If unavailable, you can substitute 3 cups all-purpose flour combined with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until a thick dough forms. To prepare by hand, stir with a fork until the dough becomes shaggy and crumbly.
- Knead Dough: Lightly flour your hands and a clean surface, then turn out the dough. Knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball and set aside while you prepare your toppings.
- Divide Dough: When ready, divide the dough into two equal balls to make two smaller pizzas, or leave it as one large ball for a single large pizza.
- Shape Dough: Place each ball of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press or roll the dough into your desired shape—round or rectangular. Using a rolling pin initially and then your lightly floured hands will help achieve an even thickness across the dough.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, prebake the dough for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings.
- If you do not have self-rising flour, make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt as directed above.
- Use non-fat Greek yogurt to keep the dough light and low in calories.
- This dough is best used immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if needed.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings before baking.
