This Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough recipe offers a quick and easy way to make delicious, homemade pizza crust using everyday ingredients. The dough is soft yet crisp when baked, thanks to the creamy tang of Greek yogurt combined with all-purpose flour. It’s perfect for a fast weeknight meal, customizable with any toppings you like, and requires no yeast or rising time.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 cup / 120 grams Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, plus 1-2 TBLS for dusting work surface
  • ½ cup / 142.5 grams Greek Yogurt (preferably thick Greek yogurt, not Greek Style)
  • ½ TSP Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 TSP / 5 grams Baking Powder
  • ½ TSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Optional Seasonings/Herbs: Garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red chili pepper flakes, dried mint, dried basil, oregano, etc.

For Topping

  • 3–4 TBLS Pizza Sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • ¾–1 cup Shredded Italian Blend or Mozzarella Cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 1 TSP Olive Oil (for brushing baking tray)
  • Optional toppings: Sliced red or yellow onion, jalapeños, banana peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, chicken, ham, sausage, etc.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Tray: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly brush with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dough Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, optional dried herbs or seasonings, and ½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. Stir with a spoon until the mixture forms dough-like crumbles.
  3. Form the Dough Ball: Use your hands to gather the dough crumbles into a ball. If it’s sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
  4. Knead and Roll Out: Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for about one minute. Roll into a ball and optionally divide into two for individual pizzas. Flatten and roll out to your desired thickness and shape. Thinner dough yields a crispier crust, while thicker dough results in a softer texture.
  5. Add Sauce and Toppings: Place rolled dough on the prepared tray. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Add your choice of toppings such as sliced onion, pepperoni, vegetables, and then sprinkle with ¾ to 1 cup shredded cheese.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown slightly.
  7. Cool, Slice, and Serve: Remove pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, slice as desired, and enjoy your homemade Greek yogurt pizza!

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt, not Greek Style yogurt, to avoid sticky dough.
  • If dough is sticky while kneading, add flour gradually to achieve ideal consistency.
  • For gluten-free or wholegrain flour alternatives, expect slight changes in texture and adjust flour quantity accordingly.
  • The thinner the dough is rolled, the crispier the crust will be; thicker dough yields softer, pillowy crust.
  • Customize toppings to your preference—vegetarian or meat options all work well.
  • Brush the baking tray with oil to prevent sticking and help crust crispiness.
