Prepare the Pizza Dough:
Begin by gathering all the ingredients for the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, yogurt, baking powder, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix well using your hands for about 2 minutes, until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. -
Gradually add lukewarm water to the mixture to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth. Once the dough is formed, cover the bowl with a cloth and set it aside to rest for about 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and let it heat for about 10 minutes to ensure it’s ready for baking. -
Shape the Pizza Crust:
Once the dough has rested, transfer it to a greased baking tray. Flatten it with your hands to form a circular base, about 1/3 inch thick. -
Assemble the Pizza:
Brush the pizza base lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Spread a generous layer of homemade pizza sauce over the base, ensuring an even coating. -
Top the sauce with the sliced onions, tomatoes, and black olives. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the vegetables. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese for an extra cheesy finish.
-
Bake the Pizza:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbling. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful No Yeast Thin Crust Veggie Pizza with a side of Aglio Olio Pasta and a warm Homemade Apple Pie for a complete, delicious weeknight dinner.
Tips for Perfecting the Pizza:
- Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like mushrooms, olives, or spinach for even more flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a spicier pizza, sprinkle some chili flakes over the cheese before baking.
