Easy No Yeast Pizza Dough Recipe

Introduction

This easy no yeast pizza dough is perfect when you want a quick homemade pizza without the wait. Made with just Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, it comes together fast and creates a soft, tender crust. Customize with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious pizza night at home.

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
• 1 cup self-rising flour

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (about 200 degrees C). In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until the mixture is mostly smooth and homogeneous.
2. Step 2: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, knead the dough gently until it comes together and forms a ball, about 2 to 4 minutes.
3. Step 3: For individual pizzas, divide the dough into two smaller balls. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to form either one 10-inch pizza crust or two 5-inch crusts. Place the dough onto one or two pizza pans, preferably lined with parchment paper.
4. Step 4: Spread approximately 1/3 cup of your favorite tomato sauce over the crust(s). Add your desired amount of cheese and toppings. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust edges are browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

• For a gluten-free option, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend and add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder.
• If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
• Try adding herbs like dried oregano or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer, more tender crust.

Storage

Store any leftover cooked pizza wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slices in an oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes to keep the crust crispy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?

Yes, you can substitute self-rising flour by mixing 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt to mimic self-rising flour.

Is it necessary to use Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt provides the moisture and protein needed for this dough’s structure. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, try using plain yogurt strained to remove excess liquid, but the texture may vary slightly.

Pizza Dough Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• Additional self-rising flour for dusting surface

For Assembling

• 1/3 cup tomato sauce
• Desired amount of cheese
• Optional toppings of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (about 200°C) to ensure it is fully heated by the time your pizza is assembled.
2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup of self-rising flour. Stir together until the mixture becomes mostly smooth and homogeneous.
3. Knead Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Knead with your hands just until the dough comes together into a ball; this should take around 2 to 4 minutes.
4. Shape Dough: For individual pizzas, divide the dough into two portions. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough(s) into roughly 10-inch rounds, or two 5-inch rounds for personal sizes. Place them on pizza pans lined with parchment paper.
5. Add Toppings: Spread approximately 1/3 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough. Follow with your preferred amount of cheese and any other desired toppings.
6. Bake Pizza: Place the assembled pizza(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the crust edges turn golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Notes

• If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute 1 cup of all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• You can substitute nonfat plain Greek yogurt with regular plain Greek yogurt or even plain yogurt, but the crust may be slightly less firm.
• For a crispier crust, consider pre-baking the rolled dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
• Adding herbs like oregano or garlic powder to the dough mixture can enhance flavor.
• Keep the flour handy while rolling to prevent sticking but avoid adding too much to keep dough soft.
