Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat recommended)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices Pepperoni slices
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
- 1 serving Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Roll out the dough into a round shape approximately the same size as your skillet.
Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Carefully place the rolled-out dough into the skillet, pressing it gently to fit the pan.
Cook the dough for 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crisp. Reduce the heat to low.
Flip the dough using tongs or a spatula and immediately spread pizza sauce evenly on top.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Add the pepperoni slices (or any additional toppings you prefer).
Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt and toppings to cook, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the lid and check if the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. If the bottom crust is crisp and golden, your pizza is done.
Carefully slide the pizza out of the skillet onto a cutting board.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your skillet pizza!
