Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture begins to come together.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the dough mixture and knead by hand (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook) for about 5-7 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is workable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it into your desired pizza shape—round or rectangular—about 1/4-inch thick.
Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough to help it bake up golden and crisp.
Carefully transfer the dough to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes to lightly pre-cook the crust.
Remove the dough from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings—sauce, cheese, meats, vegetables, etc.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade yogurt cheese pizza dough masterpiece!
