“want to make a good pizza that’s fast and easy, this is it. Cooking at a higher temperature (500 degrees F (260 degrees C)) is the key to making this the perfect pizza. Brush dough with olive oil and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!”

Ingredients (makes 1 pizza for 2)

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

cooking spray

Directions

Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a bowl; transfer to a work surface floured with self-rising flour. Knead dough, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from being too sticky, for 8 to 10 minutes.
Spray a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and spread dough to edges of pan.
Add sauce and favorite toppins.

Secret Note:
Make sure to cook at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), otherwise your crust will not brown on the bottom nicely and will be soft.

Ingredients

For the dough

500g/1lb 2oz strong plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh yeast
325ml/11fl oz lukewarm water

For the topping

300g canned plum tomatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
30g/1oz Parmesan, freshly grated
a few fresh basil leaves or some dried oregano
140g/5oz mozzarella, roughly chopped
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Method

Preheat the oven to 250C/500F/Gas 9.
In a large bowl, place the flour and salt together. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and gradually add to the flour. Mix well until you obtain a dough. If you find the dough too sticky, just add a little flour.
Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rest covered with a cloth for 5 minutes. After this time, you will find the dough much more pliable to work with. Knead the dough and split into two. Knead each piece for a couple of minutes each and form into balls. Sprinkle some flour on a clean kitchen cloth and place the dough on it covering with a slightly damp cloth. Leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Place the tomatoes in a bowl and squash them slightly, add salt and pepper and mix well.
Sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface and with your fingers spread the dough into a roughly round shape with a border. Make the dough as thin as a pancake but beware not to split the dough. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs on two large flat baking sheets and place the pizza bases on them.
Spread a little of the tomato evenly over each base – not put too much as the pizza will go soggy. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, add a few basil leaves or sprinkle some oregano and top with pieces of mozzarella cheese. Then add topping of your choice.
Place in the hot oven for 7 minutes (a couple of minutes longer if you prefer your pizza crispy). Remove from the oven, drizzle with some olive oil and eat immediately – pizzas are not very nice cold or reheated!
