Simple homemade pizza

Pizza night is always a family favourite, especially when they're made at home so everyone can get involved. However, most store bought pizza bases contain a long list of ingredients (some that I prefer not to feed my family), so I've come up with a recipe that is easy, nutritious and tastes like the real deal!

Makes 6 pizza bases

Ingredients

1 cup Greek yoghurt

2 cups self raising flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings - tomato paste, pesto, mozzarella, olives, ham, salami, capsicum, thinly sliced zucchini and what ever else you like!

Method

Add the Greek yoghurt, self raising flour and salt to a mixing bowl. Start off by mixing with a spoon, then use your hands to combine the ingredients in a kneading style. It may feel dry at first, but it will come together. Once combined, roll into a ball and cover the bowl with a damp tea towel for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare your topping ingredients and preheat the oven to 200 °C. If you have a pizza stone, pop it in the oven whilst it's preheating. If you don't, line a baking tray with baking paper and leave aside out of the oven.

After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 6 equal sized portions. Dust your benchtop with flour and using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin pizza base (roughly 20 cm diameter).

Spread the base with paste (tomato or pesto), evenly spread mozzarella on top, then add your favourite toppings.

Transfer the pizza to your pizza stone/oven tray and cook for roughly 8 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges

Notes: You can swap the self raising flour for 2 cups spelt flour with 3 tsp of baking powder.
