🥣 Ingredients needed
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
For this pizza, you will need:
- Greek yogurt: Make sure you get a plain Greek yogurt and not a flavored one.
- Self rising flour: I have made this recipe for my kids or with my kids many times now. I have had the best results with store bought self rising flour versus making my own self rising flour. Do not substitute another type of flour in this recipe or your dough will not turn out correctly.
You will also need pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and any toppings you like.

⏲️ Recipe instructions (step by step guide)
Begin by preheating your oven to 500° F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside.
In large mixing bowl combine the self rising flour and Greek yogurt (image 1). Knead the dough for about five minutes.
Separate the dough into about six equal sized balls. Press them down a little to flatten. Add pizza sauce, shredded Mozzarella, and toppings of your choice (image 2).
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- I recommend using regular self rising flour instead of making your own.
- Have your child pick out their own toppings.
🥗 What to serve with this recipe
A fresh green salad is always nice with pizza or if you want a more kid-friendly option, fresh cut veggies with ranch are a great side. My kids really like this Copycat Texas Roadhouse Ranch.
🥡 How to store leftovers
You can store any leftover pizzas in an airtight container in your fridge. The pizzas will be good for up to four days after making.
I don’t recommend leaving the uncooked dough in your fridge longer than an hour or so. It will form a hard crust on the outside and won’t taste as good as freshly made.
📋 Recipe FAQs
On the dough, you will put pizza sauce, cheese, and then toppings of your choice (such as pepperoni and mushrooms).
If you have any leftovers, you can freeze them. Put them in a freezer safe food storage bag (such as Ziploc). They will be good for up to three months in the freezer
