Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture begins to come together.

Step 4

Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the dough mixture and knead by hand (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook) for about 5-7 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is workable.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it into your desired pizza shape—round or rectangular—about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough to help it bake up golden and crisp.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the dough to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes to lightly pre-cook the crust.

Step 8

Remove the dough from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings—sauce, cheese, meats, vegetables, etc.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.

Step 10

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade yogurt cheese pizza dough masterpiece!
