Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup / 120 grams Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, plus 1-2 TBLS for dusting work surface
  • ½ TSP Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 TSP / 5 grams Baking Powder
  • Optional Seasonings/Herbs: Garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red chili pepper flakes, dried mint, dried basil, oregano, etc.

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup / 142.5 grams Greek Yogurt (thick, not Greek style yogurt)
  • ½ TSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For Assembling the Pizza

  • 3–4 TBLS Pizza Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¾–1 cup Shredded Italian Blend or Mozzarella Cheese (or preferred cheese)
  • 1 TSP Olive Oil (for brushing baking tray)
  • Optional Toppings: Sliced red or yellow onion, jalapeños, banana peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, chicken, ham, sausage, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly brush it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine dry and wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, any optional dried herbs or seasonings, and extra virgin olive oil. Add the Greek yogurt and stir with a spoon until the mixture forms dough crumbles.
  3. Form the dough ball: Use your hands to bring the dough crumbles together into a cohesive ball.
  4. Knead the dough: Lightly dust your work surface with flour and transfer the dough ball onto it. Knead the dough for about one minute, adding flour a teaspoon at a time if it is too sticky, or a teaspoon of water if too dry, until it reaches a workable consistency.
  5. Roll out the dough: Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it using a rolling pin to your desired shape—round or rectangular. Roll thinner for a crispier crust, or keep it thicker for a softer, pillowy texture. Optionally, divide the dough into two equal parts to make two smaller pizzas.
  6. Assemble the pizza: Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking tray. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface, then add your preferred toppings followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza: Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and begins to brown slightly.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes on the tray before transferring to a cutting board. Slice and enjoy your homemade Greek yogurt pizza!

Notes

  • If using self-rising, wholegrain, or gluten-free flour, adjust the recipe accordingly as it may affect texture and rising.
  • Use thick Greek yogurt, not Greek style yogurt, to avoid sticky dough.
  • Adjust flour or water quantities while kneading to achieve the right dough consistency.
  • The thickness of the rolled dough affects the crust texture—thin for crispier, thicker for softer.
  • Feel free to customize toppings and cheese to your preference.
