2 Ingredient Pizza Dough

No act of love, however small, is ever wasted
This pizza dough is so easy one of your older children can make it AND it's delicious. No more expensive store bought pizza with a crust like cardboard. It's much cheaper to make it at home. The full recipe is below, just click on the words "SHOW MORE"
My wish list on amazon : a.co/0QkOnec
Fabulous Pizza Dough! (Only 2 ingredients)
1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour & 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
(Makes 12 inch pizza)
3 cups Self-Rising Flour & 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
(Makes 16 inch pizza)
Mix together like regular bread dough and let it rise for
15 minutes then roll or press it out to size.
Add pizza sauce then a layer of Mozzarella cheese
then add your toppings and another layer of cheese.
Now put on your final topping.
Bake at 450 degrees until pizza crust is golden brown
on the edges and the cheese starts to bubble and get
some color also... cool a bit and cut with a pizza cutter!
P.S. You can add 1 tsp. of sugar to the flour

I've tried this recipe (off another KZbinr) and had fairly decent success. I've rolled various pizza doughs for years and must argue with how 'easy' each KZbinr makes the rolling out. The first thing I've known is you can't oil a pan and then roll out the dough. The oil can fight the dough in two ways. One, it makes things slippery, so that when you roll out... it rolls back. And I use spray. Second, when the moist of the oil hits the dough, if thin, it can immediately disrupt the dough. So for rolling I'm (forced to) roll it out on a board first and transfer it to tray. Adding flour as you go. What I'm saying is I'd never tell someone to simply push it out... because it will likely tear and not work. I've made this exact dough three times. The third time I added a little more yogurt (big spoonful) and suddenly the dough was airy and light. This made me wonder if the KZbin chef who said a cup of yogurt and a cup of flour was right. I think he is. Last thing for newbies who don't have that mixing machine: a spoon and big bowl works fine.

[@juliegajeski1466]

yes, thanks I made this before and was so frustrated pushing back n forth to fit it, kept springing back then tearing! May I ask what amounts did you use for yours that worked best? Happy holiday's to you!

[@screenplayhouse4932]

@@juliegajeski1466 Hi Julie. I have a pizza pan (with a ton of tiny holes in it) that size wise would be associated with a larger pizza. I finally decided to make this recipe bigger in general and had my best luck with two cups of self rising flour and 1.5 cups of yogurt. That gave me enough dough to roll out to a larger WHILE keeping the pizza relatively then AND YET giving me a dough that rises around the crust. Good luck!

[@annemac8175]

I have tried these recipes using different amounts of flour and the best one was 2 cups self raising and one cup Greek yogurt, that way I didn't need to add any extra flour, it was a beautiful crust., nice and soft in the centre, crispy on the outside. 2 cups are the best!

[@toosexy7955]

Got to try this but NO MUSHROOMS..,I like hamburger meat & PEPPERONI, , Tell Sam to tell nore JOKES, & THANK YOU ~

[@SeaBrzJo2]

I watched this at 7 am today and now am craving pizza for breakfast :-) . I've been hearing about this dough for years, but you've inspired me to now actually make it. The dough has almost a cult following with the Weight Watchers crowd because it is very point-friendly for a bread product. They create all kinds of things with it including bagels and garlic knots. Interesting fact: The first mention of it here on KZbin was almost 5 years ago by Kim Denne.

[@Handsthatcook]

It's odd that I've just heard about it...but it did make a wonderful, easy and fast crust for my pizza. TFW God Bless, Linda

Oh my God that joke was so funny😂😂😂😂😂😂. I laughed so hard it made my stomach hurt -- Linda I love your pizza recipe I'm going to try it God bless both of you 👍

[@robertreisner6119]

I've been doing this for my home made pizzas since 1973. I also use flour slightly in order to have ball up in my mixer. You are correct for a regular pizza. For a Chicago deep dish pizza use 2 cups self rising yeast, 2 cups of Greek yogurt and a bit more of flour. Where I live near Seward Alaska prices have doubled, but this is an economic mix and it tastes great.

[@Amm1ttai]

I made this for the first time last night, but I mixed some garlic and Italian herbs & spices into the dough. It was a hit.

[@AussieAngeS]

Hi Linda, I’ve made this 2 ingredient pizza dough before and it is wonderful. It’s quick and easy and the dough has a nice tang to it. I hope you are doing well ❤️

In the kitchen today making up poorman's steak, sloppy joes, and taco meat for the freezer, so why not make a pizza as well. I didn't have yogurt, so I used sour cream. Crust turned out really good. A winner recipe for when you want a fast pizza. Next time I am going to do this on the bbq grill with the cast iron pizza pan. Thank you for the recipe.

Hi, Linda. Been a while. 😔 My husband had open heart surgery early Jan., so I’ve been busy caring for him and cooking very low sodium meals. A challenge, but I’m learning a lot. He’s doing great 4 weeks out, so promised him a pizza, but had to be from scratch. Love, love this dough recipe and trying it today. No pepperoni, his fave, but lots of veggies, low sodium sauce, and low sodium mozzarella. Yours looked fabulous, so maybe in a few months I can add some pepperoni to his. Enjoyed hearing your voice and Sam’s too and his joke was a keeper. Best to you both. Bev 🙋❤️🌺

[@philsalsbery9994]

You didn't happen to steal this pizza dough recipe from the late great Steve Hall of Shot Gun Red fame, did you? I have made this pizza dough many times and you are correct, it is fantastic in flavor and texture. One suggestion to make it even better is to let that dough set and rise for about 30 minutes before spreading it onto the pan. For making pizza videos, you may also want to invest about $10 at a restaurant supply store and get a new aluminum half sheet pan. They clean up well and don't stain like the old steel pan you used here. Love your toppings and will try the green olives next time. Thanks and God Bless.
