My family and all of you guys loved my cottage cheese pizza crust! We make it quite often for a homemade pizza night.

Now I wanted to try Greek yogurt pizza dough as another protein-packed option. It’s basically my Greek yogurt bagels dough but with more flour and no need to rest it.

I also tested a pizza dough made with Greek yogurt and gluten-free flour, and am happy to report that it turned out just as wonderful!

Ingredients for Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough

Flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, salt.

Flour: I tried both all-purpose flour and this gluten free flour, both worked well. As for self-rising flour, it yields the same results and omits the need for baking powder and salt. You can also use white whole wheat flour. For whole wheat flour, use about 1 1/3 cups plus a bit more.
Greek yogurt: I used 2% Danone Oikos Greek yogurt, but you can also use 0%, 1% or whole milk Greek yogurt. You might need to add less or more flour. Just go by the feel and see Tips below for more info. Also don’t use regular yogurt as it has more whey, and therefore will need more flour.
Baking powder: Needed to make your yeast-free dough rise.
Salt: It adds a lot of flavor to the pizza dough.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough

Here’s an overview of how to make the easiest Greek yogurt pizza crust. You’ll find a full recipe card below.

Step by step process how to make Greek yogurt pizza crust.

Start out by preheating your oven to 425 F.

Make self-rising flour: Add 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until everything is mixed together.
Make the pizza dough: Add in the Greek yogurt. First mix with spatula, then use your hands and mix until you have a ball of dough. Finish off by kneading it about 20 times.
Roll it out: Move the dough onto a counter dusted with 1/4 cup of flour and knead until all the flour is used up. Make sure the dough isn’t sticky. Roll it out with a rolling pin – thinner for a crispy crust, thicker for more fluffy pizza.
Add toppings and bake: Transfer pizza crust onto a lightly floured baking sheet or pizza stone. Add marinara sauce, toppings and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is all bubbly.

Tips for Best Results

Making pizza dough with Greek yogurt is a breeze, but I’ve got a few tips up my sleeve to ensure it’s perfect.

Measure flour correctly: Spoon flour into a measuring cup and level with a knife instead of dunking cup into the bag with flour.
Adjust dough consistency: I recommend using thick Greek yogurt. Keep in mind all brands differ, I personally used Oikos. Your dough should be neither sticky or dry so if your yogurt has more whey you may need to add a bit more flour, and that’s fine. And vice versa.
Gluten-free flour: It’s not as pliable, so as you roll it out you will have to shape the edges by hand. I recommend to roll out pizza crust on parchment paper, then transfer it onto a baking sheet so it doesn’t break.
For more crispy pizza crust: Prebake the crust before adding marinara and toppings.
Bake in a cast iron skillet: Shorten the baking time for an easy lunch or dinner for 2 people. Place your empty cast iron skillet in the oven as it preheats, form dough into a circle to fit the pan, add toppings, and bake.
Add herbs: I didn’t add any myself but feel free to throw in garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, or crushed red pepper flakes into your high protein dough for an extra kick of flavor.

Toppings Ideas

Once your Greek yogurt pizza crust is rolled out you can craft anything from a classic cheese pizza to your most adventurous topping combinations.

Pizza sauce: Choose from store bought or homemade marinara sauce, pesto, alfredo sauce, or BBQ sauce.
Pizza toppings: Mix and match pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, sausage, ham, bacon, pineapple, spinach, tomatoes, jalapenos, artichoke hearts, chicken, ricotta cheese, feta cheese, the list goes on!
Shredded cheese: Any cheese you have on hand will work from Mozzarella, cheddar, Italian blend, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack.

What Else Can I Make with This Pizza Dough?

Pizza crust isn’t the only thing this Greek yogurt pizza dough is perfect for, here are a few other ways to put it to good use:

Dinner rolls: Divide dough into 4 or 6 even pieces, roll each piece into a roll, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Garlic knots: Form the dough into a log, slice into even strips, then roll into a rope and tie into a knot. Brush with olive oil mixed with grated garlic and bake for 20 minutes or until golden on top.
Flatbread: Cut the dough into 6 or 8 even pieces and shape them to your liking. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and cook the flatbreads until they’re golden brown on both sides.
Pretzel bites: Divide the dough in half and roll each piece into a long rope about 1-inch thick. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 5-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

How to Store and Make Ahead

Store: Keep any pizza leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days then reheat in the microwave when you’re ready for another slice.

Make ahead: Make pizza dough as per recipe, transfer to a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for up to 3 days. After, bring to room temperature for 30 minutes, roll out, and bake.

Freeze: You can also freeze the pizza dough in bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, bring to room temperature, and bake.
