Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup tomato sauce
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or a blend)
Optional toppings:
olives, mushrooms, cooked chicken, pepperoni, bell peppers, or herbs
Method
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the yogurt and stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top. Add any optional toppings if desired.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Tips for Best Results
Use Greek yogurt for a slightly thicker, bread-like texture.
Lightly oil your hands when pressing the dough to prevent sticking.
Finish with dried oregano, basil, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
