Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Flour - We used self-rising flour to keep it to just 2 ingredients. If all you have is plain flour (all-purpose flour), then you can use that and add a teaspoon of baking powder to help the protein pizza crust rise.
- Greek yogurt - We used fat free plain Greek yogurt, because not only does it keep this a low fat pizza option, but we also find that it is thicker. If you are using a higher fat percentage Greek yogurt, then you might need to only use ½ a cup, as it will usually be runnier. Make sure you are using authentic Greek yogurt, not Greek style yogurt which will be too runny.
Variations
The pizza dough recipe with Greek yogurt is just 2 ingredients, which is what we love about it. So, there isn't too much that you can adapt.
However, you can add some extra flavor to the dough itself. We like adding some garlic powder and onion powder, or some Italian herbs. You could also add a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese, which makes an extra crispy base.
Of course, when it comes to the high protein pizza dough topping ideas, the options are endless. Add some mushrooms and bell peppers for extra veggies. Experiment with different cheese like mozzarella cheese, feta and blue cheese. You can even add some meat like pepperoni, chicken or bacon.
How To Make Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough - Step by Step
Prep: Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add the self rising flour and the Greek yogurt.
- Step 2: Start by mixing it together with a spoon and then when it starts to turn more into a dough, then use your hands to start kneading it for 30 seconds.
- Step 3: Turn the Greek yogurt pizza dough out on to a floured surface and knead for a minute or two. If it is a bit sticky then add a little more flour. Then using a rolling pin, roll it out to a circle. You can use a knife to cut it into a more circular shape if you prefer.
- Step 4: Put the pizza dough on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove the protein pizza crust from the oven and then add pizza sauce, and your toppings.
- Step 6: Put the pizza back into the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the crust is starting to brown around the edges.
Serving Suggestions
We usually just have this as a light lunch. At just 135 calories for half the pizza, it's a high protein win when you have a pizza craving.
If you want a more filling meal, or perhaps you are serving it up to guests and want some sides, then we recommend our Air Fryer Potato Wedges, Oven Baked Onion Rings or The BEST Homemade Coleslaw.
Extra Tips
- Every brand of Greek yogurt is different, so you might need to add a little more if your yogurt pizza dough is a little dry and not coming together.
- Equally, if your yogurt was runnier, then your dough might be a bit wet and you might need to add a little more flour to make it into more of a rollable dough.
- Because yogurt is used to make the dough, the end result is ever so slightly less stable than traditional pizza crust. So, you don't want to load it with toppings, as you won't be able to hold a slice.
- You can make the dough in advance and then wrap it tightly and store in a sealed bag in the fridge for up to 24 hours. You can then roll it out when you are ready to use.
- Why not swap pizza sauce for pesto for something a bit different?
Frequently Asked Questions
Leftover cooked pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can either reheat it in the microwave or air fryer.
We have tested this Greek yogurt pizza dough with wholewheat flour, and whilst you can definitely use it, it doesn't give the same results. It won't be a light and fluffy crust and you will need to add about a tablespoon of water, because the dough will be drier.
Yes, you can use a good quality gluten free flour. You will need to add a little more yogurt, because it will be drier.
Yes, we often divide the dough to make two smaller personal pizzas for our kids, so they can add their own toppings and not fight over what should go on a pizza (pineapple, anyone?). You will need to adjust the cooking time, and knock a few minutes off the initial bake.
