Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat; Skyr also works)
For the Toppings
- ¾ – 1 ½ cups Marinara or pizza sauce
- 8 oz ball of Mozzarella cheese or 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and mozzarella mix recommended)
- ½ cup of preferred toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, olives)
Instructions
- Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms and most of the flour is incorporated.
- Knead: Knead the dough inside the bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and there are no dry bits left.
- Roll it out: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness. A thinner dough results in a softer texture with a slight crispiness.
- Preheat the pan: Place a baking sheet inside the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). This preheating step helps the crust bake up crispy.
- Shape and transfer: Carefully roll the dough over your rolling pin or lift it by hand and transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape the dough to your desired thickness, pinching the edges to form a crust edge.
- Top and bake: Spread marinara or pizza sauce evenly over the crust, add slices or shredded mozzarella cheese, and then add your favorite toppings. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Notes
- Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so no additional leavening or salt is needed.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the best texture and flavor, but Skyr can be used as a low-fat alternative.
- For a crispier crust, make sure to preheat the baking sheet thoroughly.
- Customize toppings according to preference, but do not overload to prevent sogginess.
- Store any leftover pizza in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture.
