greek yogurt pizza dough recipe
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 1 large pizza (8 slices) 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
A quick, yeast-free greek yogurt pizza dough paired with a vibrant roasted red pepper and smoked paprika sauce for a high-protein, fast weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain full-fat greek yogurt
- 3 large red bell peppers
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided (15 ml for roasting, 15 ml for dough)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt (for dough)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Roast Peppers and Garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange whole red bell peppers and peeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until peppers are soft and slightly charred.
- Steam and Peel Peppers: Once roasted, transfer hot peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to steam for 10-15 minutes. Peel the skin from the peppers, remove seeds and stems, and set aside.
- Blend Roasted Red Pepper Sauce: In a food processor, combine peeled roasted peppers, roasted garlic, smoked paprika, maple syrup, and 15 ml olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add water or vegetable broth, blending again until sauce reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- Mix Pizza Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and 5 ml salt. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead and Shape Dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if necessary to prevent stickiness. Roll out the dough into a 10-12 inch circle (about 0.25 inch thick).
- Assemble and Bake Pizza: Transfer rolled dough to a pizza stone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 15 ml olive oil, spreading evenly. Spread roasted red pepper sauce over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Let pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
If self-rising flour is unavailable, substitute with 2 cups all-purpose flour plus 3 teaspoons baking powder and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Full-fat Greek yogurt results in a richer, softer crust than non-fat varieties. For best results, grate fresh cheese from a block.
