Easy Healthy Pizza Recipe
This easy, healthy pizza recipe uses a no-yeast, 2-ingredient Greek yogurt pizza dough to create a soft, chewy, high-protein crust. Load it with your favorite toppings and bake it in just 20 minutes — it’s healthier, lighter, and honestly better than takeout.
Ingredients
The Dough:
- 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, I use full-fat; Skyr also works
For the Pizza:
- ½ - 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, fresh ball or shredded; I love mixing sharp cheddar + mozz
- Protein Toppings: shredded chicken, chicken sausage, pepperoni, turkey pepperoni
- Veggies: mushrooms, onions, peppers, spinach, tomatoes
- Fun combos: buffalo chicken, pineapple & ham, BBQ chicken
Instructions
- Mix the dough: Add the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a large bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms and most of the flour is incorporated.
- Knead: Use your hands to knead the dough for 3–5 minutes, until smooth and no dry bits remain. If the dough feels sticky, lightly flour your hands.
- Roll it out: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼-inch thick. I like it thinner so it bakes up soft in the middle with crisp edges.
- Preheat the pan: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450°F. A hot pan = crispier crust.
- Shape and transfer: Carefully roll the dough over a rolling pin (or lift by hand) and transfer it to a parchment-lined hot baking sheet. Shape the edges and pinch the crust.
- Top and bake: Spread pizza sauce over the crust, add mozzarella and your toppings, then bake for 12–15 minutes until golden, bubbly, and crisp around the edges.
Notes
Make your own self-rising flour: Mix 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour + 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt.
Use thick yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt or Skyr works best. Runny yogurt makes the dough sticky.
Gluten-free option: Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour and add 1 teaspoon baking powder + ¼ teaspoon salt.
Crispier crust tip: Preheat the baking sheet or use a pizza stone.
Avoid soggy pizza: Pat watery veggies (like mushrooms or spinach) dry before adding.
Air fryer option: Make a smaller pizza and air fry at 375°F for 6–10 minutes.
Storage: Refrigerate leftover slices for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
Topping ideas: Try chicken, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, fresh basil, or feta.
Pizza size: Dough makes one large 16-inch pizza or two smaller 8–10 inch pizzas
Roll thickness guide: Thin = crispier; thick = softer and chewier.
