Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 cups self-rising flour
Optional Equipment/Modifications:
- Self-rising flour substitute*
*Note: If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4.5 teaspoons (4.5 tsp) baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons (1.5 tsp) salt
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by heating oven to 450F (230C) and lining baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pour self-rising flour into mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, and combine until a cohesive dough develops. Use fork or dough hook to integrate ingredients thoroughly.
- Transfer dough onto floured surface and gently manipulate with hands, working the mixture until texture becomes smooth and consistent.
- Shape dough into either one large or two smaller pizza bases, pressing and stretching onto prepared parchment-lined sheets. Use rolling pin initially, then fingers to refine shape.
- Apply preferred pizza sauce across dough surface, distributing chosen toppings evenly to ensure balanced coverage.
- Transfer pizzas into preheated oven, baking for 20-25 minutes until edges turn golden and crust appears crisp and lightly browned.
Notes
- Flour Flexibility Choose self-rising flour for best results, but all-purpose flour with added baking powder works as a perfect substitute.
- Yogurt Selection Greek yogurt with higher fat content creates a more tender and flavorful crust, so opt for full-fat varieties.
- Texture Tricks Knead the dough gently to prevent tough crusts, stopping when the surface becomes smooth and elastic.
- Dietary Adaptations Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for celiac-friendly pizza, ensuring to add xanthan gum for better binding.
