Instructions
In a large bowl combine flour and baking powder (also add spices here too if you are using them!)
Once mixed, add in the Greek yogurt and knead until fully combined (there may be a little excess flour at the bottom of the bowl- this is normal)!
Sprinkle a flat surface with half of the semolina flour. Place the dough ball in the center of the flour. Gently press down using your hands to begin forming a circle. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until about ¼ inch thick.
Pinch the edges of the dough to create a crust. Now depending on your cooking method follow either the oven or pizza oven options below.
Oven instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Sprinkle a light dusting of semolina over the base of a round pizza pan or cookie sheet. Carefully place rolled out dough on the prepared sheet.
Add toppings.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Pizza oven instructions
Preheat pizza oven for 20-30 minutes
Sprinkle a light dusting of semolina over your pizza peel. Carefully place rolled out dough on the prepared peel. Add toppings. TIP: try to work as quickly as possible adding the toppings to minimize any likelihood of the pizza sticking!
Carefully slide the pizza in the oven using the pizza peel. These pizzas will cook fast, usually about 3 minutes per pizza. To ensure even cooking, watch the top of the pizza. I like to turn the oven off for about 1 minute to allow the bottom to cook without burning the toppings and use a smaller peel to turn the pizza 1-2 times. Once pizza is browned to your preference (check the bottom), remove the pizza, allow to cool slightly, slice and enjoy!
