Magic Pizza Dough Recipe
This simple recipe for homemade pizza uses real food ingredients to whip up a delicious pizza in minutes. No yeast, no kneading, and no fuss. It's like magic!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tsp Olive oil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
-
In a large glass bowl, mix together all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
-
Stir in Greek yogurt with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Using your hands, clump the shaggy dough together until you form a soft dough ball. If dough is too dry to clump together, add in water 1 tsp at a time until it's soft enough to form. If the dough feels too sticky, add in flour 1 tbs at a time until you get a soft consistency.
-
I use a really thick Greek yogurt and my dough is never sticky, but if you are using regular yogurt, you may need to lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin.
-
Separate your dough into two balls and roll out two pizzas, roughly 12 inches each for a thin crust, and 10 inches for a thicker crust.
-
I don't have a fancy pizza stone or cast iron pizza pan, so I just line a baking sheet with parchment paper, but I'm sure a pizza stone would make this even better! I add a tsp of olive oil to each baking sheet (lined with parchment) and spread around with my fingers.
-
Place pizza on top of lightly oiled baking sheet, top with favorite toppings, bake for 8-10 minutes.
-
Let cool slightly before cutting. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*The best way to measure flour is to spoon into a measuring cup and level off. If you scoop directly out of the flour bag, you'll be using too much flour as it gets compacted that way.
*This recipes calls for Greek yogurt, which is thicker than traditional yogurt. It will work well with regular yogurt, but you will have to add in a bit more flour/dust the rolling pin and work surface with a bit of flour to keep the dough from sticking.
