Pizza with Greek Yogurt Dough

Description

Looking for a simple way to make homemade pizza dough? This Greek Yogurt Dough recipe creates a soft, easy-to-work crust with added protein and flavor.

Perfect for family pizza night, this recipe comes together quickly and pairs perfectly with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon non-fat dry milk powder
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons water, as needed
  • 2/3 cup pizza sauce, divided
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • Toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and non-fat dry milk powder.
  3. Make the dough. Add Greek yogurt and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Add water gradually (½ tablespoon at a time) until dough comes together.
  4. Knead dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6–8 minutes. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.)
  5. Divide and roll. Divide dough into two balls. Roll one ball into a 10-inch circle on a floured surface.
  6. Assemble pizza. Transfer dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread 1/3 cup sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese and desired toppings.
  7. Bake. Bake for 12–13 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  8. Repeat. Prepare and bake the second pizza with remaining dough and ingredients.

Baking Tip

For a crispier crust, bake pizza on a preheated baking stone at 450°F for about 8 minutes.

Why Greek Yogurt?

Greek yogurt adds protein and helps create a tender, flavorful crust without the need for yeast. It also contributes calcium and nutrients that support a balanced meal.

Make It Your Own
