2 ingredient pizza dough

In an effort to keep things a bit healthier, I have been experimenting with a 2 ingredient dough recipe. I still like real dough better, but this was quick to make and a lot less carbs, so I will make it again. 

Dough:
.5 cups (60 grams) self rising flour
.5 cup (127 grams) non-fat Greek yogurt

mix the 2 ingredients until incorporated and than knead the dough for about 3 minutes on a floured surface (I used more self rising flour). 

Pizza:
roll dough flat into pizza crust. This dough will tear easier than normal dough so I’ve be using a rolling pin rather than stretching by hand. 

Ive also been using parchment paper to assist in the launch into the egg and removing it after 3 minutes. 

Cook at 550 for 8 minutes. 

For this pizza I used leftover chicken sausage and turkey meatballs.

    Looks like it turned out pretty good! Can't beat the simplicity of the recipe.

    The longest part of the process was waiting for the egg to heat up.  This will definitely be a go to when i decide at the last minute I want to make pizza.

    How is this fewer carbs if it’s still flour?

    Standard dough requires more flour.  In this recipe the flour is only half the total volume of the dough, in my normal dough receipt it's about 75% of the total volume.

    I didn't let it rise, after I kneaded it, I rolled it into a ball which I let sit for about 3 minutes while i cleaned up some dishes, then rolled it out into the crust for the pizza.

    How is it 2 ingredients? Self Rising flour aka flour with baking soda + Greek yogurt (aka about 6 ingredients right there) for hydration.  Must be using  Common Core Math :wink:
    Looks good .

  • I will be trying this as well. Thanks for sharing.

    Those of you who don’t have self-rising flour can make it yourself. https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-self-rising-flour-232729

    I need to watch my sodium intake (less now than before, but still...). When making many things, I just use half or less (sometimes even none) of the salt called for in the recipe. I tried that with pizza dough and it was just not good. At all. Baking is like that.

    I also tried cauliflower pizza dough. Once. 

    I decided I would rather eat less frequent pizza - and like it - than eat pizza that isn't very good. So now I put salt in the dough, cheese on the pie and even some pepperoni once in a while. I don't do it nearly as often, but when I do, I enjoy it! 

    If your yogurt pizza is good enough, fine. If it doesn't meet your standards, you might consider my approach. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    For "2 ingredients", it's got more life/spring than one of Nola's pies(not joking).

    Applaud the effortless approach.

    But Neapolitan is as simple as I get.
    Water, 00, yeast, salt.

    Ok, I'm gonna have to try this. KA even has a "recipe" for self rising flour so I don't have to buy a whole bag of flour I'll never use if this doesn't work out. =)

  • I sort of felt the same way, but a 2-pound bag of self-rising flour was $1.79, so I figured it was worth the gamble.
