Ingredients
  

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a standard a large baking sheet with parchment paper if making 12 mini pizzas or line a round baking pan with parchment paper for one round pie.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the yogurt and mix together with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 6-8 minutes until the dough feels smooth, but some bumps are ok. Makes about a 1-pound dough ball.
  • For one pizza pie, use a rolling pin to flatten out the pizza dough into a round shape about 9 to 12 inches wide, depending on the preferred thickness. For 12 mini pizzas, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls, then use a rolling pin to flatten them out about 3 inches in width.
  • Poke the pizza crust with a fork a few times to avoid puffing in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Add the toppings and return to the oven. Continue baking until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese has melted, 5 to 7 minutes more minutes.

    Tobin and I love love your recipe. The nutritional facts are confusing me just a bit. How would the 12 mini pizzas compute to the 4oz?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Sorry for the confusion here! The recipe and nutrition facts are just for the dough, not the mini pizzas. The whole dough recipe should weigh around 1 lb (16 oz), so each serving would be 4 oz, which is 3 mini pizza doughs (or 3 slices of cooked dough if making a full pizza crust and cutting it into 12). Hope that helps!

    Hi Yumna! I tried this recipe out and loved it! My question is can I make it using my KitchenAid instead of kneading it myself? Does it turn out the same?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yes, absolutely! I tried to show how easy it is to just knead by hand, but you can definitely make it faster using your KitchenAid stand mixer. Enjoy!

  3. Vanessa says:

    Can I make this with regular non-fat Greek yogurt instead of whole milk Greek yogurt?… BTW love all your recipes!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yes, that’s perfectly fine. It may have more liquid in it though, so you can add more flour as needed if the dough feels a little sticky.

      1. Vanessa says:

        Awesome. Thank you so much for the fast reply! I’m dying to make this for my kids!

  4. Anne Ballis says:

    Thank you💖

    1. Yumna J. says:

      You’re welcome, Anne!!

    So I used regular all purpose flour and the dough came out a bit undercooked. We added a couple more minutes but still it seemed more dense than they should be. On your Facebook video it says to use self-rising flour but here it said regular flour. Perhaps it’s supposed to be self-rising flour?

    1. Yumna J. says:

      The video is correct, it is supposed to be self-rising flour. So sorry for the confusion! Thank you so much for pointing out this mistake, the recipe has been corrected now. I hope it turns out better with that change!

  6. Arwa says:

    Loved everything about this! It was perfect and so light and didn’t feel heavy after eating it! My kids loved it too. Can’t wait to make it in my pizza oven!!!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yum, I bet it’ll taste amazing in your pizza oven! So happy you and your kids loved it, Arwa!

  7. Anna says:

    These were so easy to make and delicious! My kids loved making them and gobbled them up!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yay, I’m so happy your kids loved them! Thank you, Anna!!

  8. Veronica says:

    This looks delicious! Will it work with a gluten free flour? Thank you!

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Hi Veronica! I haven’t tried it myself but it should work well with all-purpose gluten-free flour. Please let me know if you end up trying it, I would love to hear how it turns out!!

  9. Morgan says:

    Would Greek yogurt be okay as a replacement? I love these but all I have is plain Greek yogurt. Thank you

    1. Yumna J. says:

      Yes! The recipe actually calls for Greek yogurt—I didn’t realize the recipe card said “plain whole milk yogurt” instead of “plain whole milk Greek yogurt.” I just updated the ingredients for accuracy. Thank you so much for pointing this out, Morgan!
