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 %)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy crust once the pizza is baked.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt by whisking them together to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Add Yogurt and Form Dough: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined. Then use your hands to mix and knead the dough roughly 20 times until a cohesive ball forms.
- Knead with Remaining Flour: Lightly flour your counter with the remaining 1/4 cup flour and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough until all the flour is fully absorbed and the dough is no longer sticky to the touch.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough into your desired pizza crust thickness. Transfer it to a lightly floured baking sheet or pizza stone to prepare for toppings.
- Add Toppings: Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, then add your favorite pizza toppings and cheese as desired.
- Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust turns golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, cut into 8 slices, and enjoy your homemade Greek yogurt pizza!
Notes
- This dough can be made with all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour for dietary preferences.

- Be careful not to add too much flour while kneading; the dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference, including vegetarian or meat options.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust, or a baking sheet for convenience.
