Prep Time:
8 minutes
Cook Time:
22 minutes
Serving Size:
4-6, 1 pizza (12-14 inch round)
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup Straus Organic Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
Toppings
- 1/2 cup organic pizza sauce
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup sliced black olives
- Optional: 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, dried chili flakes, fresh basil
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a round pizza pan or a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the flour in a mixing bowl and mix with the baking powder and salt.
Step 3
Make a hole in the middle. Add in the Greek yogurt and start to mix with a rubber spatula. When the mixture starts to look wet-crumbled, start using your hands and bring it together into a dough ball.
Step 4
Work until the dough is combined and mostly smooth on the surface.
Step 5
Sprinkle a clean surface with a bit of flour, and knead the dough for about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Lightly sprinkle the kneaded dough ball with flour and, using a rolling pin, spread it into a 12 to 14-inch round. Transfer to a sheet pan, and you can still spread it with your fingers until the base is thin and round. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, and spread over the pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella, mushrooms, and olives.
Step 8
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the mozzarella is melted and starts to brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle dried chili flakes, if desired. Just before serving, top with a few fresh basil leaves.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
