Servings: 3
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup self rising flour OR 1 cup all purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup plain full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt plus 1-2 Tablespoons if needed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- ¾ cup ground chicken or turkey sausage cooked
- ⅓ cup yellow onion
- ⅓ cup bell pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella loosely packed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. If you don’t have self rising flour, make your own by combining flour with baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Add greek yogurt and additional salt to flour and stir to combine until a dough starts to form. If the dough is too thick, add more yogurt, 1 Tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too thin, add a sprinkle more of flour.
- Use your hands to shape the dough into a smooth ball and all the dry flour is gone. This took about 2-3 minutes. Cover dough ball completely in flour (this will prevent it from sticking to the counter or roller).
- Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle shape using a rolling pin or smooth bottle, until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
- Carefully transfer dough using hands or spatula to a baking dish or pizza stone that is lightly floured. Add sauce and spread over dough evenly, leaving at least ¼ inch space around the edges.
- Sprinkle cooked ground turkey sausage, onion and red bell pepper evenly over pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake pizza for about 20 minutes until cheese is browned and bubbly and crust is golden brown, rotating pan once halfway through.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
