Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine flour and Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle a little extra flour on the tabletop or whatever surface you plan on using to knead the dough.
- Place the dough ball on top, kneading it with your hands. If it sticks to your hands, sprinkle a little extra flour on it. Knead for about 3-4 times, until it's a pliable dough.
- Spread the dough out on a parchment-lined cookie sheet to roll dough.
- Spray your Pizza Roller with non-stick cooking spray, to keep the dough from sticking. Roll until it's about 1/4" thick, and cover with marinara and add a dash of pepper flakes.
- Add cheese, and the toppings of your choice.
- Top with 1 tsp. grated parmesan cheese.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust has puffed up and is lightly golden and all of the cheese has melted.
