Easy No Yeast Pizza Dough (2 Ingredients) Recipe

Introduction

This easy no yeast pizza dough requires just two simple ingredients and comes together quickly. Perfect for a last-minute homemade pizza, it creates a soft and chewy crust without the hassle of waiting for dough to rise.

Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
• 1 cup self-rising flour

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (about 200°C). In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until the mixture is mostly smooth and combined.
2. Step 2: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently with your hands until it forms a cohesive ball, about 2 to 4 minutes.
3. Step 3: For individual pizzas, divide the dough into two portions. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into either one 10-inch circle or two 5-inch circles. Place the rolled dough onto pizza pans lined with parchment paper.
4. Step 4: Spread about 1/3 cup of your favorite tomato sauce evenly over the crust. Add cheese and any other toppings you prefer.
5. Step 5: Bake the pizza(s) in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust edges are browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer dough and slightly softer crust.
• If you don’t have self-rising flour, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt as a substitute.
• Try adding herbs like dried oregano or garlic powder into the dough for extra flavor.
• Par-bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings for an even crispier base.
• Experiment with different cheeses and toppings to customize your pizza.

Storage

Store any leftover pizza dough wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Allow the dough to come to room temperature before rolling. Cooked pizza is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to keep the crust crisp.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze this pizza dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 1 month. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before using.

Why doesn’t this dough rise like traditional pizza dough?

This recipe uses self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, which means it doesn’t contain yeast and won’t rise or develop the same airy texture. It’s a quick, denser alternative perfect for fast weeknight pizzas.

Pizza Dough

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
• 1 cup self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)

Toppings (optional)

• 1/3 cup tomato sauce (or more, to taste)
• Cheese of choice (mozzarella recommended)
• Additional desired pizza toppings (pepperoni, vegetables, herbs, etc.)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Mix: Preheat the oven to 400°F (about 200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup of self-rising flour. Stir together until the mixture is mostly homogeneous and forms a rough dough.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, knead the dough gently just until it comes together into a ball. This should take about 2-4 minutes. Avoid over-kneading to keep the dough tender.
3. Shape the Crust: For one large pizza, roll the dough out with a rolling pin into a 10-inch round. For two personal pizzas, divide the dough in half and roll each portion into approximately 5-inch rounds. Place the shaped dough onto pizza pans lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
4. Add Toppings: Spread about 1/3 cup of your favorite tomato sauce evenly over the crust(s). Add your preferred amount of cheese and any other toppings you desire.
5. Bake: Place the prepared pizzas in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Bake until the crust edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

• If you do not have self-rising flour, make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• The dough can be sticky; use extra flour for dusting your surface and hands.
• Customize toppings as you like, including vegetables, meats, or herbs.
• For a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on a preheated pizza stone or steel.
• This dough is best used immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day before baking.
