Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup 0% Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • Marinara sauce, as needed
  • Shredded cheese, as desired
  • Olives, to taste
  • Sliced onions or veggies of choice, to taste

Other

  • Olive oil for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature for baking the pizza dough.
  2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and baking powder. Add in the Greek yogurt and mix using your hands. The dough may initially be wet and sticky, but continue kneading until it becomes smoother. If it remains too sticky to handle, gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour until manageable.
  3. Prepare the Skillet and Shape the Dough: Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking. Flatten the dough evenly into the skillet. For a thinner crust alternative, roll the dough out on a parchment-lined baking tray instead of shaping it in the skillet.
  4. Bake the Dough: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake the dough for 10 minutes. This step sets the crust and partially cooks it, creating a sturdy base for toppings.
  5. Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and add olives, sliced onions, or any other preferred veggies. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted and toppings are cooked through.

Notes

  • Use 0% Greek yogurt for the best texture and to keep the dough light and protein-rich.
  • If you want a crispier crust, roll the dough thinner on a parchment-lined baking tray instead of a skillet.
  • Add herbs like oregano or basil to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or pepperoni.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing for easier handling.
