Greek Yogurt Pizza - I KNOW RIGHT!?

8/20/2013

The Gentry family has pizza once a week, at least, and I always make my dough from scratch. It's not so bad, but between the mixing and kneading and rising I need to remember to give myself at least an hour just for the dough. Enter my fave cooking related show, The Chew. There are a lot of cooking shows that I enjoy: Lidia's Italy, America's Test Kitchen, even New Scandinavian Cooking - mostly because they cook right on the shore and it's super pretty...

But if I'm really honest with myself I will probably never cook anything on any of those shows. Even watching Rachael Ray I'll be like "Oh maybe that IS what's for dinner tonight!" but it never is, I mean who keeps pancetta on hand?

But the recipes on The Chew I really use! There's one in particular that totally blew my mind: Daphne Oz's Easy Pizza Crust AKA Daphne Oz's Greek Yogurt Pizza Crust! No more kneading or waiting for dough to rise! ...or less waiting at least.

The best part of this recipe is that it's made with Greek yogurt. I prepare something for my students every week and really my class may as well be titled: "Ways to Use Greek Yogurt." When you are pregnant you should be shooting for 80 grams of protein a day and 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt packs in 23 grams of protein! I use it in muffins, in dip, with fruit, as a substitute for sour cream... and now I use it in pizza! Daphne Oz's pizza crust is 2 ingredients: 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup of self rising flour. Mix, let it rest for 30 or so minutes, then press out and top. So simple. However I don't keep self rising flour on hand, so here is my recipe

Depending on what kind of flour you use (Wheat Montana is my fave) 1 small pizza crust (depending on how big you press it out you could make a personal size pizza or share with another person) will have 47 grams of protein! So lets say you share it with your husband, top it with just cheese and veggies and that's still 30 grams of protein for each of you... and you could still chicken or a turkey pepperoni or sausage for even more protein. You'll need: 1 cup of whole wheat flour 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt 1 tsp celtic sea salt 1 tsp baking powder Combine til smooth-ish. Knead out a bit. Let rest for 30 minutes, which is about the amount of time it takes me to wash and chop veggies with three babies demanding my attention. Press out, it will be sticky so use some flour. Sauce, cheese, and toppings! My fave toppings are artichokes, red bell pepper, olives and spinach... but sometimes plain ole turkey pepperoni is just this "this feels so bad but it's really not" meal I've been craving. Bake at 400-425... til crust is crispy.
