# Ingredients:

→ The High-Protein Core

01 - 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt

02 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

03 - 2 tsp baking powder

04 - 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

→ Savory Dough Enhancers

05 - 1 tsp garlic powder

06 - 1 tsp dried oregano

07 - 1/2 tsp onion powder

08 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ For a Golden Crust & Finish

09 - 1 tbsp olive oil

10 - 1 tsp granulated sugar

11 - 1 tbsp cornmeal (for dusting pan)

12 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting work surface)

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. This forms the flavorful base for your High Protein Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough Recipe.

02 - Add 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp granulated sugar to the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated for the best High Protein Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough Recipe.

03 - Turn the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured work surface (using some of the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour). Gently bring the dough together, kneading for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a cohesive ball. Avoid overworking the dough at this stage.

04 - Continue kneading the dough for another 3-4 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If sticky, add a tiny bit more of the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. For optimal texture in your High Protein Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough Recipe, let the dough rest for 5 minutes, covered, before shaping.

05 - Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a surface dusted with the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, roll or press the dough into your desired pizza shape (approximately 12-14 inches round). Transfer the shaped dough to a baking sheet dusted with 1 tbsp cornmeal.

06 - For a crispier crust, pre-bake the High Protein Greek Yogurt Pizza Dough Recipe for 5-7 minutes at 425°F before adding toppings. This helps prevent a soggy bottom and ensures even cooking. Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake until golden.

# Notes:

01 - For a whole wheat option, substitute up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. You might need a tiny bit more Greek yogurt or water to achieve the right consistency.

02 - This dough is best used fresh. If you have leftovers, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before rolling.

03 - For an extra crispy crust, bake the dough directly on a preheated pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet. The initial blast of heat helps create a beautiful texture.

04 - Feel free to customize the savory dough enhancers! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick, or swap oregano for Italian seasoning for a different aromatic profile.
