Anyone who’s living a low-sugar and/or low-fat lifestyle needs this Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough in their recipe arsenal. A pizza dough recipe that has no yeast, no rise time and can be as simple as 6 ingredients.
Pizza in minutes? Sign. Me. Up.
When I first stumbled upon this recipe I was intrigued. Back then, it was a 3-ingredient recipe calling for self rising flour, Greek yogurt and salt. Because it’s extremely rare that I ever have that type of flour in my pantry, I decided made my own. Did you know you can make your own self-rising flour by combining all-purpose flour and baking powder? TRUTH. The baking powder gives the dough its lift just like yeast would in a more traditional recipe. Yet you get skip the over the part where you have to wait and let the dough rise.
Besides being low sugar and fat, this is also low in points, if you’re following the Weight Watcher’s Smartpoint program. You will want this recipe.
To Make This Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough You Will Need:
- unbleached all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- kosher salt
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- plain, nonfat greek yogurt
I’ve made it with and without those spices and found that I prefer this recipe with them. But that doesn’t mean you have to make it with them. They are simply bonus ingredients.
Start by measuring and adding 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (these two are of course optional) into a mixing bowl. And then whisk to combine.
To the dry ingredients, add 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Then switch over to a rubber spatula and stir until combined and forms a shaggy dough.
That’s it. SO super simple, right?
Next, place the dough onto a clean and generously floured surface. It’s a sticky dough, but when you go to roll it out, the extra flour will work itself into it and help it from sticking. Here you can either divide the dough into fourths for 4 personal pizzas (1/4 of the dough is considered 1 serving) or leave it whole. Either way, sprinkle more flour to dust a rolling pin, adding more as needed to roll the dough out thin.
I would suggest baking your pizza on the bottom rack of your preheated 475° for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on your oven and toppings. However, keep in mind that if you’re making individual pizzas, they may need less time , for me it’s 8 minutes.

THANK YOU in advance for your support!
Thank you for this unusual recipe. I would have loved to see how the pizza looks after baking…I am very visual. I plan on giving it a try soon.
Hi Lin! Stay tuned, I’m sharing a recipe tomorrow!
Just printed out this recipe. My hubby and I are on a very low-fat diet, and this sounds like it will satisfy that craving for pizza. I also like to use goat cheese instead of mozzarella to cut down on the fat. Also grilled veggies and fresh basil after it comes out of the oven. And since he’s also on a potassium-restriced diet, I make a roasted red pepper sauce instead of tomato.
I’ll definitely have to try this. Thanks.
Brilliant! Enjoy!
You are cooked!
I heard about this elsewhere, but then I looked up your recipe, and I’m hooked. I never thought pizza would be easy enough to include in my meal prep rotation, but it is!
I’m so glad, Alex!
This is the best Greek yogurt crust I’ve ever had and I’ve tried a lot!
I’m so glad you think so, Sami!
Is this a no-knead recipe? I’ve looked at several greek yogurt pizza dough recipes after trying one and it turned out too tough. This is the first I’ve seen that didn’t call for kneading the dough. I’m trying to figure out if my error came from under/over kneading or adding too much flour during the kneading process.
Hi Melissa! Great question! Technically this is a no-knead and no-rise dough. You just mix and roll out, adding a little flour to keep it from sticking. I hope this helps!
Does it have to be Greek yogurt or would plain yogurt work too?
Hi Elizabeth! I’m sure you could use plain, unsweetened yogurt. However I cannot guarantee the results without testing it.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I’ve tried it twice already and absolutely love it! Just a quick question though: I’ve been using the generic brand of non-fat plain yogurt and it seems as though I have to double the amount of flour (2cups of flour for every one cup of yogurt). The reason I do that is because my dough gets super sticky/wet otherwise. Any idea what this might be happening? Could it be that the yogurt brand I’m using is just not as thick as the Greek yogurt?
Hi Rita! I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe. Since Greek yogurt is a lot thicker than regular yogurt, I’m guessing that’s probably why. However, even using greek yogurt, it can be sticky, and you still need a well floured surface to shape and roll out. I hope this helps! Thanks for taking the time to make this recipe and leave a review!
Amazing! I had to use up the Greek yogurt in my fridge and this is the PERFECT way to do it. It is so unbelievably tasty and I will probably be buying Greek yogurt again for this sole purpose! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve made this recipe multiple times and it is excellent. I’ve also made substitutions and modifications with success as well. Whole wheat flour works great and you can use plain yogurt. Just add a little bit of yogurt at a time (maybe start with 1/4th cup) and mix in between until the dough comes together, tacky but not super sticky. I use an old toaster oven, which bakes the pizza at less time (10 mins.), but the crust comes out crispy. I also recommend putting the pizza on a wire rack, so the bottom doesn’t get soggy. Thank you for posting this recipe.
Great tips, Ashley! Thank you for taking the time to make this recipe and for leaving such a great review! It’s greatly appreciated!
Best pizza ever! I made it in a cast iron pan and the crust came out nice and crispy. I should have bought more yogurt.
I’ve never thought to try it in a cast iron skillet! Brilliant!
Can I use this recipe to fry the dough?
Hi Arnold! I’ve never tried it so I cannot say. If you do give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out for you. Enjoy!
I made this very quick and easy crust for dinner. My picky kiddo said it was the best crust she’s ever had excluding delivery options… (she’s 6 so she doesn’t know better ). I’ll be adding this to my recipe book. It’s a keeper!
Thanks for sharing this!
