Greek Yogurt Pizza Crust (No Yeast) — Quick Homemade Recipe

The easiest pizza you’ll make: Greek yogurt pizza dough in 20 minutes. This yeast-free Greek yogurt pizza is simple, high in protein, and a healthier twist on a classic favorite.

There are two things you should know about me: I’m lazy and I love pizza. That’s why this recipe is perfect — it comes together in under 20 minutes and requires no yeast.

Using Greek yogurt in the dough makes it higher in protein and still delicious. It’s a quick, wholesome option when you want pizza without the fuss.

Easy pizza recipe without yeast

This dough uses no yeast and relies mainly on two ingredients: flour and firm Greek yogurt. It’s fast, forgiving, and yields a tender, protein-rich crust.

Ingredients

For a better texture and flavor, this recipe adds a few extras beyond the basic flour and yogurt.

• All-purpose flour
• Firm Greek yogurt
• Baking powder
• Olive oil
• Sea salt

Use real Greek yogurt (not “style”)

Make sure to use true Greek yogurt, which is thick and firm. “Greek-style” or runny yogurts will make the dough sticky and require much more flour to fix. A firm yogurt keeps the dough workable and yields the best result.

Substitutes

If you need swaps, these work well:

• All-purpose flour: swap for spelt or whole wheat flour. Avoid almond or oat flour for best texture.
• Greek yogurt: use Skyr or quark, or a firm dairy-free yogurt (soy-based options work if thick).
• Baking powder: optional. Skip it and the crust will be flatter.
• Olive oil: replace with another oil (avocado, walnut) or omit, though oil improves flavor and texture.
• Sea salt: any salt will do; don’t skip unless necessary.

Topping ideas

Margherita is a classic favorite — simple tomato and mozzarella shine on this crust — but almost anything works.

• Pepperoni
• Grilled chicken
• Tuna
• Corn
• Sliced onions
• Grilled peppers
• Roasted vegetables
• Any combination you like

Dairy-free yogurt pizza dough

This recipe adapts well to dairy-free diets. Use a thick, firm dairy-free yogurt such as soy-based Skyr or other strained soy Greek-style yogurts. Texture matters more than brand — avoid runny plant yogurts.

How to make Greek yogurt pizza without yeast

This recipe is quick and straightforward — ready in about 20 minutes.

Step 1. In a large bowl combine 120 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour, 120 g (about 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) firm Greek yogurt, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until a dough forms. Add a little more flour if sticky, or a bit more yogurt if too dry.

Step 2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth and soft.

Step 3. Roll or press into a roughly 15 cm (6-inch) round, keeping the edges slightly thicker than the center. Dust with flour if it gets sticky.

Step 4. Spread pizza sauce over the crust and top with shredded mozzarella (or your preferred cheese and toppings).

Step 5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Alternatively, air fry at 190°C (390°F) for 12–15 minutes.

Buon appetito!

How to store yeast-free pizza

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let the pizza cool, then seal in an airtight container or wrap tightly. Reheat in a hot oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
