Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes | Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups self-rising flour
1 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
All-purpose flour for rolling
½ teaspoon cornmeal
⅓ cup prepared pizza sauce
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup torn basil leaves

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 500º F
 
2) To make dough by hand: Place self-rising flour in a large bowl. Add yogurt and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 8 minutes. Add a few tablespoons water if the dough seems dry or a few tablespoons flour if it is sticky.
 
Alternatively, to make dough in a food processor: Place self-rising flour in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add yogurt and pulse about 15 times until a smooth dough forms. Add a few tablespoons water if the dough seems dry or a few tablespoons flour if it is sticky.
 
3) On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Sprinkle a pizza stone (or round baking sheet) with cornmeal; place the dough on top. Spread sauce over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with cheese, then scatter basil over the top.
 
4) Place a pizza stone or a large rimless baking sheet on the bottom rack of the the oven.
 
5) Bake until the crust is nicely browned and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
