Description

A fast and easy homemade pizza crust made with Greek yogurt, ready in under 30 minutes and without yeast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 340 g (12 oz; about 1 1/2 cups) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tsp (6 g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (6 g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp (1 g) garlic powder or dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Combine 300 g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp (6 g) baking powder, and 1 tsp (6 g) salt in a bowl. Whisk for 30 seconds.
  2. Add 340 g (12 oz; 1 1/2 cups) plain Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms, about 30–60 seconds.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 6–8 times until it forms a smooth ball, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (about 140 g / 5 oz each). Press each piece into a circle about 7–8 inches (18–20 cm) across with your fingertips.
  5. Preheat oven to 250°C (475°F) for at least 25 minutes with a pizza stone or heavy sheet inside.
  6. Brush each crust lightly with olive oil and dock lightly with a fork to prevent bubbles.
  7. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or pan. Bake at 250°C (475°F) for 8–12 minutes.
  8. Remove pizzas and let rest 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For extra crispness, place the pizza on the lowest oven rack for the first 4 minutes.
