Steps to Prepare Greek Yogurt Mini Pizzas
Start with the dough, then spend a few minutes on the topping. They’ll be ready in no time!
Pour the Greek yogurt into a bowl.
Gradually add the flour, add the instant yeast, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Mix with a spoon until you get a soft dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly until you form a smooth ball.Once you have a smooth dough, detach small balls weighing about 0.7-0.9 oz each.
Briefly work each ball with your hands, then roll it out with a rolling pin to obtain a thin disc, about 0.16-0.20 inches thick.
Place the mini pizzas on the air fryer’s basket (better with a sheet of parchment paper).
Season them with a teaspoon of tomato pulp, a pinch of salt, oregano, a drizzle of oil.
Cook at 356°F for about 10-12 minutes, add the mozzarella the last 2 minutes of cooking and cook until golden.
Storage
Greek yogurt mini pizzas can be stored at room temperature for a day, well covered. Alternatively, you can keep them in the fridge for 2 days and reheat them in the air fryer or pan when needed.
Tips and Variations
Want to make them more delicious? Add olives, cooked ham, oregano, or anchovies.
Is the dough too sticky? Add a pinch more flour, but don’t overdo it.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
I don’t have an air fryer, can they be baked in the oven?
Sure, bake the mini pizzas in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the mozzarella, and finish cooking until golden.
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but you might need to slightly increase the amount of flour because regular yogurt is more liquid.
Is instant yeast mandatory?
It’s used to give a bit of lift to the dough, but you can also try without: they’ll be thinner and crispier but still tasty.
Can I prepare the mini pizzas in advance?
Yes! You can roll out the discs and store them in the fridge for a few hours before topping and cooking them.
