Pizza is one of life’s simplest most delicious pleasures. That effortless combination of soft milky cheese dough and savory sweet tomato sauce is classic for a reason: It’s just so damn good. While making a quality homemade version of this pie takes a little time the process doesn’t have to be complicated. All you really need are a few basic ingredients for making pizza dough at home. For example you can transform Greek yogurt into pizza dough with just one extra ingredient: self-rising flour. (And if all-purpose flour is all you have simply mix it with salt and baking powder to make your own dough.) Yes really. That’s really all you need.

Greek Yogurt Pizza Crust | Only 3 Ingredients

Specific quantities will depend on the size of the crowd you’re serving but these two simple ingredients can do it all. Simply mix your flour and yogurt in a bowl until combined knead into a dough on a floured surface spread out on a greased pizza pan and bake.

So if it’s the last day you can eat your open yogurt container consider switching up your dinner plans and making this impressive homemade pizza dough. And if you’re worried about the taste of such a simple creation think again. Most common pizza doughs are made with flour fat and salt so this simple dough is really no different than the rest. One of the best things about it? It also doesn’t require yeast.

This two-ingredient pizza dough hack is great for a quick and easy dinner or even if you want to use up a cup of leftover yogurt. If you don't have Greek yogurt regular low-fat yogurt or even cottage cheese will work just as well. So from Costco's Kirkland Brand Greek Yogurt to the reduced-fat varieties they all have the potential to create a fluffy delicious pizza dough. (Though the higher the fat content the better since the thicker texture of the yogurt helps keep the dough intact.) Just make sure you're baking your dough at a high enough temperature to avoid soggy pizza dough. (Because when you're using minimal ingredients everything has to be just right.)
