you could also just add a few more ingredients and have a killer crust. flour, yeast, olive oil, water, and salt.

Tasty and does not come from a can. And from the look of it, fast. I'm all over it.

I agree with @CDICA002. You could do a no knead dough and do a lot better than, than "might not be the best..."

I recently made a pizza crust and used a dry white wine it in too...that was pretty good.

I'm with everyone who points out that you can do great pizza crust with four or five ingredients (including water), so why not just do that? That being said, I had fun guessing what the two ingredients might be before I clicked through. Although I'm sure it shows my lack of cooking science knowledge, I was really hoping it was going to be flour and beer. ^_~

Not really "2 ingredients" so much as "2 pre-packaged products, each with its own set of included ingredients"...

I think this is pretty neat. Sometimes when you're teaching a kid to cook, the easiest-way-with-ok-and-instant-results is the best route. Same applies to teaching some adults to cook. PLUS my mom-of-picky-eater response is, "great, protein and calcium in the crust from the yogurt!" We might give it a go.

Interesting recipe. I agree with a few comments above why not make the real deal with a few more ingredients. Our recipe includes six basic ingredients:

1 cup of warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 cups of all-purpose (or unbleached) flour (you can also try Molino Caputo Tipo 00 Pizza Flour, imported from Naples, Italy)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar

For years I thought pizza dough was some kind of esoteric, magical, secret recipe that only online mages and Julia Child could ever possibly create.

But 2.5 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of yeast, 1 cup of warm water, and a teaspoon of salt mixed by hand in a bowl, then kneaded for a couple of minutes on the counter, then put back in the mixing bowl with some olive oil, cover bowl with plastic wrap, and left in peace for a couple of hours, and a slightly sticky pizzza dough happens for you.

Not that I'm hating on self rising flour and Greek yogurt, sounds really easy and quick, but flour-yeast-salt-water combo is as simple. And I don't have to find fairly pricy self rising flour or Greek yogurt at the closest grocery store.

Greek yogurt rocks. I hope you could maybe find a gluten free pizza recipe with just 2 ingredients? (Joking, maybe just 24?)

Hate to rain on a parade, but Self Rising Flour is Flour+Baking Powder+Salt

Technically 4 ingredients. Just because three of them come pre-mixed doesn't make it one ingredient.

Anyways... Using Yogurt to make bread is a great thing. I often strain my own yogurt and I will use the "whey" from the yogurt to make bread with. I substitute it 1/1 for water. It makes a much finer texture (all that added protein).

I like how quick it comes together. I, for one, am grateful you posted the link. I like the no-proofing, no-raising required part of it. Let the complainers, well, complain. :)

Why is pizza crust so difficult. My rule has always been 1+1=2 (1cup water,1package yeast, 2 cups flour). I always add some herbs to spice things up, but it's not that difficult.

I bet it's great! I am going to try it. I used 6 ingredients (not using yeast), it was really really good! Fast & delicious! http://7th-taste.com/2012/03/23/truffled-madrigal-pizza/

You can make your own whole wheat self-raising flour, which might be fun for kids, too.
Sift together
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1+1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Wait, isn't that basically cream biscuits, only using Greek yogurt instead of cream?

It ain't real pizza dough if it doesn't contain yeast!

Even if it's not much harder to make a traditional pizza crust, I still think it's valuable to know a different way to do things. Besides, on some days the difference between 6 ingredients and 2 ingredients seems like a lot!

@ALICELOST, you can make the easiest loaf of bread ever by combining 3 C self-rising flour, 1 C sugar and 1 bottle of beer. Bake at 350F for one hour. Butter the top if you want. So beer was not a far-fetched guess!

Sounds perfect for cooking with the kids!

This reminds me of the two ingredient Beer bread my family would make. I can't quite remember the recipe, but it was just a can of beer and self rising flour. I think we usually also added sugar which puts it in the three ingredient catagory.

I'll have to dig out that old recipe. If I remember right it made pretty yummy toast the next day.

If you're going to do that, then you may as well just get the boxed pizza mix, or frozen dough from that dough boy.

A good pizza dough isn't difficult to learn to make, nor too time-consuming, and if you treat it like it is and say, here's an easy substitute, then you're telling people that, yeah, cooking is hard.

I really appreciate these time-saving tips. I'm glad that so many people here have all the time in the world to make dough and let it rise and blah blah blah. I can be easily overwhelmed and decide not to do anything, so a two ingredient pizza dough is magical. Thanks!

I agree with many of the posters that traditional yeast pizza dough is generally really easy to make, especially if you use a no-knead recipe (which I do). But I have to say, this looks even easier, and the advantage is that you don't have to wait for it to rise -- when I make my no-knead recipe, I have to allow at least 2 hours for it to rise, before I can assemble the pizza. A recipe like this makes it possible to be spontaneous in your pizza making, or to be able to make whip up a pie, start to finish, after you get home from work. I can't do that even with my "super easy" pizza dough recipe, unless I have time to make the dough the night before and refrigerate it.

Also, yes, this is technically mixing together two "pre-packaged products, each with its own set of ingredients". But you can easily make it more "whole foods" by creating your own self-rising flour (I believe it's usually just flour and baking powder). And it's easy to find Greek yogurt that's only two ingredients: milk and bacteria.

So I say hurrah to this recipe, and I can't wait to try it.

I will try this after I pick up some yogurt.
