Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe only requires two ingredients, Greek yogurt and self rising flour, so it’s an easy one to make, even when your pantry is looking a little bare. You don’t have to let the dough rest or rise, so you can get pizza in the oven in just minutes. Plus, since this recipe is made with Greek yogurt, it has more protein than a typical pizza crust!
What is Self Rising Flour?
Self-rising flour is a mix of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This allows baked foods to rise without the need for yeast. It can be used for everything from pizza crust to biscuits! It’s great when you’re low on other ingredients in your pantry, but you still want to make something delicious!
How to Make Self Rising Flour
If you don’t have a bag of self-rising flour, you can make your own! The ratio is 1 cup of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This makes slightly more than 1 cup of self-rising flour, which is all you’ll need for this recipe.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Pizza Crust
Combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour in a bowl. Start by mixing with a spoon but as it thickens, it may be easiest to knead it with your hands. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Roll the dough as flat as possible using a rolling pin. This crust will be a moderately thick crust, so don’t stress about getting it super thin. Then place in on a greased baking sheet.
Bake the crust for about 5 minutes until just lightly browned. Add your favorite toppings to the dough. I kept mine simple with a little marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Then bake again until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
It’s hard to believe how simple this recipe is, but it really makes an amazing pizza crust! You could add other toppings if you like. Since this crust is thicker, it can stand up to quite a few toppings without getting soggy.
My Favorite Pizza Topping Ideas
- Shredded mozzarella or fresh mozzarella
- Ricotta cheese
- Thinly sliced zucchini
- Hot honey
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh basil
Do you have a traditional pizza crust recipe?
Yes! This pizza crust recipe is great for a thinner, flatbread-style pizza. If you have a pizza oven, try my Ooni pizza dough recipe which is perfect for a Neopolitan style pizza!
Or, you can make my beer pizza dough which uses beer instead of yeast. It gives you a thin, crispy crust with just a hint of hoppy flavor. Don’t worry, the alcohol cooks out in the oven so it’s safe for the whole family.

Have you ever made your own pizza crust?
Wow that looks like a success to me! And very tasty…I have made several different versions of pizza crust in my day, and I have learned one thing, a pizza stone is key!
Wow, I am so intrigued by this !! I definitely need to try it.Anything with such few ingredients I am into, makes it so easy!
I’ve tried to make my own pizza crust in the past, but it never seems worth the effort for the results!
I’ve done pizza crust with beer… I think the yeast in the beer (can’t just be miller lite- has to be good) makes it wonderful
I’d love to see this recipe! Sounds really good.
This looks super easy! My Mom actually makes her own pizza dough 🙂 but it’s like the regular kind because she worked at a pizza place when she was out of High School lol
Oh that’s awesome! She should come teach me 😉
haha I should film her next time :p she throws it in the air too haha
I love easy recipes like this! THANK YOU!
Wow very cool! I’ve heard a lot of people using greek yogurt to subsitute many items – but who knew pizza?! Very awesome, will have to try soon.
Let me know if you do! I’m trying to get more pizza topping ideas 🙂
That looks so easy!! Before I cut out grains from my life I perfected a no yeast / no wait pizza dough, you should give it a go it was super easy – http://abetteryeartoabetterlife.com/2012/10/01/yeast-free-whole-wheat-pizza/
Wait. Yogurt + Flour = Pizza Dough?
Mind blown.
It has to be self-rising flour, but yeah! Isn’t that crazy?!
Interesting! I would never have thought to make pizza with greek yoghurt. I make homemade pizza dough quite a bit, but normally just plain flour, olive oil, yeast, and water
I didn’t know if it would actually work, but it turned out pretty well! 🙂
Love, love, love this! I used buckwheat flour (plus some baking powder for the rise) and no fat greek yoghurt. I honestly didn’t think it would work. But not only did it work, it was delicious!
Wow, that’s awesome!! That sounds like a great version!
This recipe loss awesome but I also wanted to sub with buckwheat floor… How much baking powder would you use?
Looks not loss and flour not floor haha
I use about 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of baking powder. Just play around a bit to see what you like best!
Yep! That should work!
