The Ingredients:
For the Greek Yogurt Dough:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1.5 cups of plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
For the Pizza Toppings:
1 cup of marinara sauce or pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup of sliced black olives
1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Section 2: The Method
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. Place it on the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the marinara sauce or pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Scatter the chopped artichoke hearts and sliced black olives over the cheese. These flavorful ingredients will bring a taste of the Mediterranean to each bite.
Crumble the feta cheese over the top for an extra burst of tanginess.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Optional: Garnish your masterpiece with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
