Simple Pizza Dough (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the Pizza Dough
01 -
3 cups of self-rising flour*
02 -
2 cups of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven nice and hot—set it to 450°F (230°C). Cover two big baking trays with a sheet of parchment paper.
02 -
Mix the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour in a large mixing bowl or with the dough hook on a stand mixer. Stir with a fork if you're doing it by hand until the dough is crumbly or holds together roughly. If using the stand mixer, let it knead the dough into a lumpy dough ball.
03 -
Sprinkle some flour on your hands and spread a little on the surface you're using. Dump the dough out onto it and knead for just a few minutes, until it softens and smooths out. Form it into a ball and leave it for a bit while getting your pizza toppings ready.
04 -
Split the dough into two balls for two pizzas, or keep it whole to make one giant pizza. On the parchment-lined sheets, start shaping the dough into circles or rectangles. Roll it out gently with a rolling pin, then pat and press with floured hands to get your desired shape.
05 -
Smear some pizza sauce over the crusts, pile on your favorite toppings, and pop them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. The edges should turn a light, golden brown when it’s done.
# Notes:

*If you're out of self-rising flour, just mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into every cup of all-purpose flour.
