But when I cook at home and when I go grocery shopping I try to stay away from things with long lists of ingredients and highly processed ingredients. One thing I was having a difficult time cutting out was pizza crust.
Jason and I love pizza. We could easily eat it a couple nights a week. It's quick convenient and tasty. And we can switch up the toppings to whatever we happen to be in the mood for. We have been trying to make our own pizza because we can limit what ingredients go into it and we can add more veggies too. I'll admit, though, we've been buying store bought, premade pizza crust. It's just easier. I have not found a pizza crust that I love and that is easy to make. Until now.
3 ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
(If you use self-rising flour you can leave out the baking powder)
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and then knead 8 to 10 times. You may find you need a little extra flour on hand for this. Next, roll the dough into a ball and flatten with your hands or a rolling pin. I used a rolling pin just to make it more even. I left the crust slightly on the thicker size and it made about a medium size pizza. I could have easily rolled it out thinner and it would have made a large pizza.
Bake at 450 degrees for 5-7 min. depending on how thin your crust is. Add your favorite sauce, toppings, and cheese. Bake for another 5-7 min.
I doubled the recipe and made two crusts and the same time. I also baked them in the oven together. It worked out fine, but the crust that was on the higher rack in the oven did not turn out as crispy.
