This pizza dough with Greek yogurt was one of my first posts on this blog. I wanted to make easy homemade pizzas for my son one summer as he is a pizza fanatic. Using 2 ingredients you can make really tasty pizza and it makes the process so much easier.

If you have never tried 2 ingredient pizza dough I highly recommend you do. Especially if you are not one to make homemade bread. All you do is mix and roll out your pizza crusts. So easy – no yeast so no rise time!

This post will show you how to make mini frozen pizzas using this 2 ingredient Greek yogurt pizza dough. You can then make them for dinner or freeze them for a quick lunch. You could also double this recipe and make 12 mini personal pizzas to freeze for whenever.

By the way you can make all kinds of delicious things with this dough. I’ve even made a cranberry pecan bagel recipe with this 2 ingredient dough and baked them in the air fryer. I’ve also made this delicious buffalo chicken pizza and this air fryer mushroom flatbread using this Greek yogurt dough.

The texture of the crust is chewy and elastic just like traditional pizza dough and it’s very versatile. While we are just making pepperoni pizzas today you can add Italian seasoning or other herbs and spices to your dough for extra flavor. And of course you can use your favorite pizza toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, bacon sausage, onions, black olives, hot peppers, pesto etc. But since is meant for kids I’m keeping it simple.

What you need to make 2 ingredient pizza dough recipe.

To make the pizza crust all you need is greek yogurt and self rising flour. No yeast! Note that you have to use Greek not regular yogurt and self rising flour and not regular all-purpose flour for this recipe. Self rising flour can be found in most grocery stores so you shouldn’t have trouble finding it.

Other ingredients you need to make this recipe.

So technically you only need Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. From there you can use your favorite toppings you want which for my son it is definitely pepperoni. We use regular but you can even use turkey pepperoni.

And you don’t have to get fancy pizza sauce. I use jarred pasta sauce or Rao’s marinara sauce as that is our favorite from Aldi. It ends up being a rather inexpensive dinner as the ingredients can be found anywhere and are not costly.

If you don’t have self rising flour you can make it!

All you need is regular all-purpose flour, baking power and salt. For 1 cup of flour you add 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. (source)

Since we are using 1 ½ cups of flour in this recipe you would need to use 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder and ⅜ teaspoon salt.

Honestly it’s much easier to buy it and then you don’t have to do the math!

How to make pizza dough with greek yogurt.

Step 1: First preheat the oven to 350°F and cover a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2: To make the 2 ingredient dough add the Greek yogurt and self rising flour to a large mixing bowl and mix together until it forms a ball of dough.

The dough ball should be tacky but not too sticky. Place ball of dough on a floured surface and If the mixture is too wet, sprinkle the work surface with flour and start kneading the dough to incorporate the additional flour and get your dough to the right consistency.

If you have a crumbly dough you can add a tablespoon of water or yogurt. I kneaded mine by hand and it just took a couple minutes to get it all to come together. No need to get out the mixer and bread hook.

How to make mini frozen pizzas.

Step 1: Once the Greek yogurt pizza dough is made, cut it into 6 equal balls of dough. Take each piece and roll dough it into a ball. Then using a rolling pin (dusted with a little flour so it doesn’t stick) flatten into a small pizza shape. Below you can see what mine looked like.

Step 2: Place the uncooked crusts on a parchment paper covered baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

You could also brush dough with olive oil or even butter and some garlic powder or garlic salt for a breadstick flavor. But cooking spray is what I used. Place in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes.

Step 3: Let them cool and then add your toppings to the individual pizza bases. I used just sauce, mozzarella shredded cheese and pepperoni. Set the whole baking tray in the freezer for about 2 hours.

Step 4: Then take them from the baking sheet and place in a ziplock freezer bag. I just stacked mine in the bag like below. However if you have the right size airtight container for the freezer that would work too.

You can also just freeze the crusts or shells and make your personal pizzas later. Either way works fine. (Please scroll down for the printable recipe card.)

How to bake the frozen pizzas.

To make from frozen, just bake in a 350°F oven for 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown. Note baking time may vary. You can even turn on the broiler after the 12 minutes if you want them more browned on top. Easy peasy.

If you want to bake and eat these right away.

To make them and then cook these right away, just don’t freeze them at all. Make the 2 ingredient pizza crust, bake for 8 minutes then take them out of the oven and add your toppings. Return to oven and bake for 5-10 minutes more until brown and bubbly.

This recipe only makes 6 mini homemade pizzas. I like them because you can make a batch for dinner or just bake a couple from your freezer for a quick lunch. Plus they are easier to freeze in a smaller size. Cooking times may vary if you make a bigger pizza crust.

And that’s all there is to making pizza dough with Greek yogurt and turning it into mini frozen pizzas.

One of these days I will mix some herbs in the dough and make a white version with fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil  for me and my hubby.  However this recipe was originally meant for my son.  Even now that he’s older, pepperoni pizza is his favorite kind.

I hope this easy pizza recipe helps you out a bit with meal planning for your family or even yourself. And play around with the greek yogurt dough to make all kinds of things. It’s so easy and tasty too. Enjoy!
