Why We Love This Pizza Dough Recipe with Greek Yogurt

Ingredient Notes
- Whole wheat flour: I prefer to use white whole wheat for extra fiber, but you can also use all purpose. To make this a 2 ingredient dough recipe, you can use self rising flour and skip the baking powder and salt.
- Baking powder: This is essential to make your yeast-free dough rise. Otherwise, it will fall flat. Self rising flour already contains baking powder so skip it if you use that type of flour.
- Salt: Salt helps baking powder rise and will give it a great flavor.
- Yogurt: This is the secret ingredient! Plain Greek yogurt adds moisture and a tanginess that mimics traditional pizza dough. It incorporates some extra protein too! Use whatever fat percentage you prefer.
How to Make Pizza Dough without Yeast – Step-by-Step
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until it becomes crumbly in texture.
- Use your hands to knead the dough for a few minutes until it starts to come together into a dough ball. If it still feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of additional Greek yogurt at a time until the dough resembles a slightly sticky pizza dough consistency.
How to Roll Out Pizza Dough
- Sprinkle a little flour on a flat surface and roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or form into mini pizzas. Top with your favorite pizza sauce and add desired toppings. Cook on the bottom rack for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

RECIPE TIPS
- If you don’t have whole wheat or white whole wheat flour on hand or don’t enjoy the taste, you can also use all-purpose flour. Alternatively, self-rising flour can be used. Just be sure to skip the baking powder and salt if you go this route since self-rising flour already contains those ingredients.
- The more you work with your dough, the tighter it will become. If you can’t get it to roll out smoothly, let it sit for 15-20 minutes until the gluten relaxes.
- Since this recipe is so forgiving, invite the kids to get involved! They can help make the dough, roll out the pizzas, or add their favorite toppings. You can even cut the dough into fun shapes before adding the toppings!
- This is a basic pizza dough recipe. Feel free to add extra seasonings like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc. for additional flavor.
Recipe FAQs
If you want to get homemade pizza dough in the oven faster than ever before, use a 3 ingredient pizza dough recipe that uses yogurt instead of yeast! Since this dough doesn’t need to rise or be kneaded, it comes together in about 20 minutes.
You won’t be able to substitute yogurt for yeast because you need different proportions and a leavening agent to help the dough rise. But if you’re out of yeast or just want some pizza quickly, this technique will be great for you!
Plain yogurt is thinner than thick Greek yogurt, so you will end up with a softer dough if you make a substitution. Instead, make your own Greek yogurt by straining yogurt with cheesecloth in a colander. This will get you the right texture without taking a trip to the store. You can also try using sour cream in a pinch!
The air fryer can be used for so many different recipes, including this yogurt pizza dough recipe. Since the air fryer cooks differently than a conventional oven, you’ll want to preheat it to 375 degrees first. I prefer to make individual pizzas and bake them for 5-8 minutes. Learn more about this process and get some healthy topping ideas in this post mini pizzas in air fryer.
How to Store
- Before baking, you can store your yogurt dough in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. When you’re ready to start baking, let the dough warm up to room temperature first, then stretch it out, add your toppings, and bake!
- Once the pizza is baked, store leftover slices in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Either microwave or bake the slices in your air fryer at 350 for 2-3 minutes to satisfy those pizza cravings.

Once you get a handle on this easy pizza dough recipe, you’ll quickly realize it can make so much more than just pizza.
Use this dough in any of the following ways:
