Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (0%)
  • 0.33 cup canned San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined; it will look like small crumbles.
  3. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Remove the dough from the bowl, knead a few times until tacky but not sticky, about 20 turns.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat.
  5. Roll out the dough into a large, thin round or oval on a floured surface.
  6. Place the rolled dough onto a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  7. Spread tomato sauce over the crust, top with cheese, and bake for 10-12 minutes until bubbly and crust is golden.
  8. Remove from oven, top with torn basil and drizzle with olive oil if desired. Slice and serve.
