How to prepare Foolproof Pizza Dough Without Yeast

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup natural yogurt (full-fat)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough starts to form. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a small amount of yogurt.
3. Knead the dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or onto a preheated pizza stone. Add your favorite toppings.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
6. Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
