Ingredients

For pizza base:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine kosher salt
  • 1¼ cups plain Greek yogurt

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • Freshly crushed pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a round pizza pan or large baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil (from the 1 tablespoon olive oil).
  • In a large bowl, add the 1¼ cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon fine kosher salt. Spoon in the 1¼ cups plain Greek yogurt and start mixing with a spatula until a crumbly dough forms. Use your hands to finish mixing the dough into a ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes, until smooth and elastic. You may add 2-3 tablespoons of flour if it's too sticky!
  • Drizzle the bowl with the remaining 1/2 tbsp of oil, then place the dough ball in it. Cover and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.

  • Transfer the dough to your prepared pizza pan and spread it with your fingers until the base is thick and about 10-12 inches round.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Pre-baking the base first makes it crispy.

Notes

  • Pre-bake the crust for a crispier pizza.
  • Add a little extra flour if the dough feels sticky.
  • Freshly shredded mozzarella melts best.
  • Let the pizza rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Customize with red onion, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro.
