By Caroline Bakker / May 9, 2020

So it was a wet Sunday afternoon when I decided to make some pizzas for dinner. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, turns out that all major shops are out of baking powder and yeast, one of the main ingredients needed to make your own pizza dough.

Thankfully we have the internet which always seems to have the perfect solution for almost any problem. In this case it turns out that you can easily make a yummy delicious fluffy pizza base with only 2 ingredients: 1) Self Raising Flower and 2) Greek Yoghurt.

Pizza Dough Ingredients

2 Cups self raising flour

1 Cup greek yoghurt

2 Ingredient Pizza Dough Method

Step 1: Mix flour and yoghurt in a bowl and knead together

Step 2: Knead until dough is nice and pliable and roll into a ball. Then divide into two balls to make 2 pizza bases.

Step 3: Roll out pizza dough with a rolling pin (or equivalent) until you have reached desired thickness.

Step 4: Place pizza base onto baking tray lined with baking paper

Step 5: Top your pizza base with desired spread such as sour cream, pesto, or traditional red sauce.
