Ingredients for Your Quick Homemade Pizza
You really won’t believe how simple this is! All you need are these two pantry staples:
- 1 cup self-rising flour (this is key! It’s got leavening baked right in)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat works, but stick to plain for the best flavor base!)
Crafting Your Two Ingredient Pizza Dough: Step-by-Step
Okay, let’s get this magical two ingredient pizza dough rolling! It’s so incredibly straightforward, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with complicated pizza nights.
Preheating and Mixing the Greek Yogurt Dough
First things first, get that oven roaring! Preheat it to 450°F (230°C). While it’s heating up, grab a medium bowl. Dump in your cup of self-rising flour and your cup of plain Greek yogurt. Go ahead and mix them up until it looks a bit shaggy, like it’s not quite sure it wants to be dough yet. Totally normal!
Kneading and Shaping Your Easy Pizza Base
Now, turn that shaggy mess out onto a lightly floured surface. Give it a quick knead for about 2 to 3 minutes. You’re just looking for it to smooth out a bit, nothing too intense. Once it’s looking nice and smooth, shape it into your pizza crust. I usually do a nice round shape, but you do you! Think of this as your easy pizza base, ready for whatever deliciousness you have planned.
Topping and Baking Your No Yeast Pizza Crust
Once your dough is shaped, carefully place it on your baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Now for the fun part – pile on your favorite toppings! Tomato sauce, cheese, whatever your heart desires. Pop it into that hot oven. This no yeast pizza crust bakes up in about 10 to 15 minutes. You’re looking for that crust to be golden brown and cooked all the way through. If you’re like me and love an extra-crispy edge, you can totally pre-bake the dough naked for 5 minutes before adding toppings. It makes such a difference!
Tips for Perfect Two Ingredient Pizza Dough Every Time
Making this two ingredient pizza dough is already super simple, but here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up that make it even better. First off, ingredient quality really does matter here. Grab a good quality self-rising flour – it makes a difference! And while you can technically use any plain Greek yogurt, I find the full-fat kind gives it a richer, chewier texture. If you’re really craving that crispier crust, and you didn’t pre-bake, just pop the finished pizza back in the oven for a few extra minutes after adding toppings. Trust me, it’s worth it!
Ingredient Spotlight: The Magic of Self-Rising Flour
So, what IS self-rising flour, anyway? Think of it as a baking shortcut! It’s basically all-purpose flour that already has leavening agents (like baking powder) and salt mixed right in. This is exactly why our two ingredient pizza dough works so wonderfully without any yeast. It’s the secret weapon that gives our pizza crust that perfect little lift and chewy texture, all while keeping things incredibly fast and simple!
Serving Suggestions for Your Quick Homemade Pizza
This super simple pizza base is so versatile, it practically begs for delicious accompaniments! Since the dough itself is so speedy, you can whip up a quick side salad with a zesty vinaigrette in minutes. Think a classic Caesar, a simple arugula with lemon and parmesan, or even some chopped cucumber and tomato for a fresh Mediterranean vibe. If you’re feeling really ambitious, some garlic breadsticks made from leftover dough are always a hit! For the pizza itself though, don’t be shy with toppings – grilled veggies, leftover chicken, or even just a classic pepperoni and mushroom combo are fantastic.
Storing and Reheating Your Two Ingredient Pizza Dough
Got leftover dough or pizza? Don’t toss it! Leftover two ingredient pizza dough can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days – it’s still perfect for another pizza night. If you’ve already baked the pizza, let it cool completely, then wrap it well in plastic wrap or pop it into an airtight container. Reheating is super easy! For leftover dough, just bring it to room temp for about 15 minutes before shaping. For cooked pizza, I love reheating slices in a skillet over medium heat for that crispy bottom, or pop them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warm and delicious again.
Frequently Asked Questions About Two Ingredient Pizza Dough
Got questions about this magical two ingredient pizza dough? I’ve got answers!
Can I use regular all-purpose flour?
Oh, I get asked this a lot! And honestly, while you *can* try it, it really won’t be the same. The magic of this no yeast pizza crust relies on the self-rising flour. It already has the leavening agents built-in, which is what gives it that nice texture and rise without any yeast. If you use regular flour, you’ll need to add baking powder and salt, and the texture will be quite different and a bit denser. For the best results, stick with self-rising flour!
What if my Greek yogurt dough is too sticky?
Don’t panic if your greek yogurt dough is a little sticky! This usually happens if your yogurt is a bit thinner, or if the flour is more absorbent. The best fix is to just add a tiny bit more self-rising flour, maybe a tablespoon at a time, while you’re kneading. You can also dust your hands and the work surface with a little extra flour. Just be careful not to add too much, or it can make the crust tough. A little flour goes a long way here!
How do I store leftover dough or finished pizza?
If you have any extra easy pizza base dough, just wrap it up super tightly in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. It should keep well for about two days. As for leftover baked pizza, let it cool down completely before storing it in an airtight container or wrapped well in the fridge. It’s still great the next day!
Can I make this dough ahead of time?
You sure can! This quick homemade pizza dough is pretty forgiving. You can mix it up, wrap it tight, and keep it in the fridge for a day or two. Just let it sit on the counter for maybe 20-30 minutes to come back to room temperature before you try to shape it. It’ll still be just as delicious!
