Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Use a spoon at first, then finish mixing with floured hands if needed.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter and dust it lightly with flour. Transfer the dough onto the parchment. Using well-floured hands (or a rolling pin), shape/roll the dough into a 14-inch (about 35 cm) circle, dusting the top with a little flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Slide the parchment with the dough onto a pizza stone or a large baking sheet. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 8 minutes.
- Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Evenly spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then top with 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
