Basil and Cheese pizza using Easy 2 ingredient pizza dough

This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung 

2 ounces fresh pizza dough

1 cup self raising flour
1 cup of Greek or natural yogurt
Extra flour for dusting the board

In a bowl, combine the flour and yogurt and bring together to form a ball.
Turn out onto a floured board to knead and roll.
Knead for 10-15 minutes. Roll into a pizza shape and add toppings.

 TOPPING:
  • 1 jar Prepared Pesto
  • Kosher Salt To Taste
  • Fresh Mozzarella
  • Roma Tomatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Basil Leaves
  • Fresh Parmesan Cheese

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
Press the pizza dough into a sheet pan (you can also use a pizza stone or grill).
You can conduct your own taste test as I did, by making a half and half pizza, or choose your favorite way and make the entire pizza out of that.
Tomato-Basil Pizza Made with Pesto:
Smear the pesto over half of the pizza dough and sprinkle some kosher salt over it.
Slice the mozzarella thin enough to cover the pizza thoroughly. Next, lay thin slices of Roma tomatoes over the mozzarella.
Tomato-Basil Pizza made with fresh basil:
Drizzle olive oil over the dough and sprinkle kosher salt over it. Wash and dry the basil leaves and lay them in a single layer on top of the olive oil.
Top the basil with a layer of mozzarella and add a layer of Roma tomatoes. Go ahead and top with more mozzarella if there’s any left.



TIP: If the dough seems a little wet when you mix it, just add a sprinkling more flour. The more you knead  the dough the better it comes together.
