How To Make 2-Ingredient Pizza Dough
For this recipe, you’ll need equal measurements of both these ingredients, plus extra flour for rolling and kneading.
If you’re making a regular-sized pizza (which you can typically get 8 slices from) use 200g. If you don’t have any scales, simply use equal amounts of both.
To start off with, you’ll want to add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix them together to form a dough.
Once done, turn the mixture onto a floured surface and knead for around 5 minutes to achieve a smooth dough – while this step isn’t entirely necessary, it helps to combine the ingredients.

Tips For The Perfect 2-Ingredient Pizza Dough
Lightly dust your baking tray with flour to easily remove your cooked pizza.
Mix all the ingredients together using a rubber spatula, then use your hands for the remainder – this ensures the two ingredients are thoroughly combined.
To flatten the dough, avoid using a rolling pin since this tends to break the dough.
Avoid baking the crust before you add your toppings. You can bake the pizza with the toppings at the same time.
Add spices to your dough, such as oregano, garlic powder, or basil.
Pizza Topping Ideas
If you’re looking to keep your pizza vegan, make sure to add vegan shredded cheese or torn vegan cheese slices.
Vegetarian Pizza
Add whatever veggies you like, including olives, mushrooms, spinach, peppers, and onions.
Whatever deli meats and sausages you prefer (a mix of sausage, ham, chicken, and whatever protein you prefer).
Pepperoni Pizza
Add pepperoni slices to your pizza.
Can You Use Regular Yogurt In 2-Ingredient Dough?
The short answer is that it depends.
Greek yogurt is used since it helps to hold the dough together without being too sticky. This enables the dough to keep its shape when baked in the oven.
Here, you can either opt for full-fat Greek yogurt or non-fat Greek yogurt.
From personal experience, regular yogurt tends to deliver a sticky dough where you’ll find yourself using tons of flour to help compensate for this.
Below, we have outlined the different options:
Greek-Style Natural Yogurt
This is the best option for 2-ingredient pizza dough. When compared to natural yogurt, it tends to be thicker in consistency. That said, you may need to add a couple of tablespoons of flour to help it stick.
Coconut Yogurt
This is a great vegan alternative since it is dairy-free.
Natural Yogurt
This doesn’t work as well as Greek yogurt.
Plain Yogurt
This doesn’t work as well as Greek yogurt.
