Ingredients

Units Scale

For the pizza dough –

  • 300g self raising flour (or use all purpose flour and add 2 teaspoons of baking powder)
  • 280g Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon salt

‘Nduja and honey topping –

  • 400g/14oz can of crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons ‘nduja paste (or use chorizo or pepperoni)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella, grated
  • 1/4 cup cheddar or gruyere, cubed
  • 1 scallion (spring onion), sliced
  • A handful of fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or hot honey sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven. At least 45 minutes before you want to cook the pizza, get your oven on its highest setting (that’s 250C/482F fan for me) and pop two large trays inside on the top rack to heat up (or a pizza stone if you have one).
  2. Mix the dough. Add the self raising flour, yogurt and salt in a large bowl and mix until it comes together into a rough, floury dough. At this point, go in with your hands and squeeze any remaining lumps of yogurt into the flour to make a smooth, cohesive dough. Turn it out onto a clean, flat surface. 
  3. Roll out the pizza bases. When you’re ready to cook the pizzas, cut the dough into two roughly equal pieces and form them into balls. With a rolling pin, roll out each ball into 25cm circles. Pop the circles onto a piece of baking paper and top with your desired toppings. PRO TIP: You can roll your bases directly out onto baking paper to make things even easier.
  4. Cook the pizzas. Transfer onto your super hot tray/pizza stone (still with the pizza on the baking paper) and bake for 10 minutes, or until the base is golden and the toppings are bubbling. Keep an eye on it – different ovens are hotter than others!
  5. Garnish and serve. Remove from the oven and add any fresh garnishes. Slice and serve.

For the ‘nduja and honey topping –

  1. Make the tomato pizza sauce. Get the tinned tomatoes, 2 garlic cloves and the teaspoon of salt into a food processor and blitz into a smooth sauce. Set aside in a small bowl. You can also just mix this in a bowl without using a food processor.
  2. Top the pizzas. Once you’ve rolled your pizza bases into a circle, spread 5 tablespoons of the pizza sauce onto the base, smoothing it out with a spoon to cover the base evenly (leaving a little space around the edge for the crust). Scatter the mozzarella and cheddar or gruyere evenly over the tomato sauce, then dollop over the ‘nduja paste. Scatter over the scallions.
  3. Cook the pizzas. Transfer to a hot tray in the oven and cook for 10 – 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven, then drizzle with the honey and scatter with the fresh basil leaves.

Notes

The key to a great homemade pizza is a very hot oven and oven tray. Make sure you don’t skip the step of pre-heating them.

INGREDIENT NOTES: Make sure you’re using thick, Greek yogurt in the dough. Plain natural yogurt is a lot runnier, and you’ll end up having to use more flour. This will make the dough more difficult to work with and result in a dense pizza base. You can use a fat-free Greek yogurt though, that works well.

ONE DOUGH, MANY WAYS: This dough is truly magical – you can use it in so many ways and it’s so easy. From pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls to bagels, quick garlic butter dinner rolls and cheese and herb scones, there are so many wonderful things you can make with it.
