# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This prepares your surface for the Easy No Yeast Protein Pizza Dough with Greek Yogurt, ensuring a non-stick base for baking.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein isolate, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
03 -
Create a well in the center of your dry mixture. Add 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to the well. These wet ingredients are crucial for forming the cohesive and flexible Easy No Yeast Protein Pizza Dough with Greek Yogurt.
04 -
Stir the ingredients with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Avoid over-kneading to keep the dough tender.
05 -
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions for individual pizzas. On a lightly floured surface, roll or press each portion into your desired pizza crust shape, about 1/4-inch thick. This is your base for the delicious Easy No Yeast Protein Pizza Dough with Greek Yogurt.
06 -
Carefully transfer the shaped dough rounds to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each crust with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, for brushing. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly golden and slightly firm.
07 -
Remove the pre-baked crusts from the oven. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to the oven and bake for another 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to experiment with different flours! You can use all-purpose flour for a softer crust, or increase whole wheat for more fiber. For the protein, unflavored casein or a plant-based protein blend might work, but adjust liquid as needed.
02 -
The exact amount of Greek yogurt can vary slightly based on your flour and protein brand. If your dough feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water or yogurt.
03 -
Unbaked dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Pre-baked crusts can be cooled completely, wrapped, and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw before topping and baking.
04 -
This protein-packed pizza dough is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. Top with lean proteins like chicken or turkey, plenty of vegetables, and a light cheese for a balanced and satisfying pizza.
