Better-Than-Storebought Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough

Who knew you could make pizza crust with Greek yogurt?? It’s like pizza sorcery, and I am here for it 🪄. I was just messing around in the kitchen one day and decided to try making dough with yogurt (kind of like my single serve cinnamon roll), fully expecting it to be a pizza edition flop. But to my surprise, it baked up into golden, chewy perfection that had me doing a little happy dance by the oven. Now it’s a full-blown family favorite—my kids inhale it like it’s their job, and I’m not mad about it. Honestly, it might be the easiest way to win dinner.

Ingredients and Notes

A baking tray displays measured ingredients for greek yogurt pizza dough: Greek yogurt, olive oil, baking powder, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasonings, flour, salt, and a jug of pizza sauce—each labeled for this delicious greek yogurt pizza dough recipe.

Flour - I’ve tested this recipe with both all-purpose flour and a 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour. Both versions were great, but I did find that I needed to add just a little bit of water with the gluten-free flour. So, keep that in mind when assembling your dough!
Greek Yogurt - I prefer to use 5% Greek yogurt for a richer taste, but 2% or 0% varieties will also work. Regular yogurt will work too but since it has a thinner consistency, you might need to add another tablespoon of flour.
Seasonings - You can get creative here. I prefer Italian seasonings and sea salt which will create a delicious, savory, herbaceous taste.

Toppings the Whole Fam Will Love

I always brush my Greek yogurt pizza dough with olive oil before adding any toppings. This enhances the flavor and helps it become nice and brown in the oven. Then, I add a layer of pizza sauce and plenty of mozzarella cheese.

As far as toppings go, I’m partial to red onion, red bell pepper, and turkey pepperoni. Other great options include:

Veggies - Mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach
Meat - Ground sausage, pulled chicken, ham
Extras - Olives, pepperoncini peppers, pineapple, basil leaves, red pepper flakes

For an even more filling meal, I often pair my Greek yogurt pizza dough pizza with sides and appetizers such as breadsticks, healthy chicken wings, air fryer roasted cauliflower, or a cucumber salad.

Can I prepare the dough in advance?

Yes, assemble the dough completely. Then, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil, and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let the dough come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, roll it out, and proceed with the recipe as normal.

How to store the dough?

Bake the dough, and let the pizza cool completely. Then, transfer the pieces to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold, or reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to serve.
