I made this on a whim — I was craaaaaaaaaaaaving pizza but it was Tuesday at lunch. I didn’t want to spend extra money to pay for delivery and also didn’t feel like leaving the house to pick it up. What was I to do?! I just wanted ooey gooey yumminess. Life is hard sometimes, ya feel?
So, I decided I would give it a go and make homemade pizza. Had I made it before? Negative.
Will I make an insaaaane pizza that is now a weekly demand in my house? YOU BET YOUR SAUCEY BOTTOM DOLLAR
This pizza feeds 3 adults, so never fear. However, you can always break the dough in half or double if you want to try a few different pizzas.
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2-3/4 cup yogurt (I use full-fate Fage)
- 1TBS cornmeal (optional)
Sauce
- Feel free to buy a pre-made pizza sauce. If you don’t want to or if you’re ballin on a budget, consider buying a can of crushed tomatoes and seasoning with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Likely you have those spices in your pantry and this will be MUCH cheaper than buying a pre-made sauce
Toppings!
- Honestly, buy the toppings you want! Here are a few tips
- Cheese — I always use mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese. In my opinion the parm really makes it
- If you want to use mushrooms, sauté them first and then pat them dry before adding them to your pizza
- Pesto is always a great last min drizzle on top… you’re welcome
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F on convection bake (or bake)
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl
- Add Yogurt and mix (I always end up using my hands, so I would recommend just get in there and get messy)
- Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, until it looks like a smooth dough ball.
- Lay some extra flour on the counter at transfer your dough ball to the counter. I start to form my circle with my hands first and then use the rolling pin for the rest. You want to roll a thin dough, as it will rise a little during the cooking process.
- You’ll want to do a pre cook on this dough. Dust the bottom of the skillet evenly with the cornmeal and lay the dough on top. Cook on medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes. The dough will start to bubble when it cooks.
- After the pre-cook, transfer the dough to a baking sheet and add your sauce and toppings!
- Bake in the over for 10 minutes. Let it cool, slice it up, and enjoy!
