Why 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough?

The beauty of the 3 ingredient pizza dough lies in its simplicity and nutritious benefits.

Simple Pizza Recipe

No complicated techniques or special equipment are required to make this dough.

Plus, it only requires 3 ingredients: Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and Italian seasoning.

Protein Pizza

As you saw earlier, one of the three ingredients in this pizza dough recipe is Greek yogurt.

There are some really cool health benefits to including Greek yogurt in your diet (and your pizza!). Check these out:

Protein Powerhouse: Greek yogurt is known for its high protein content. Adding it to the dough increases the protein profile of your pizza, which helps keep you feeling fuller for longer and supports muscle repair and growth.
Gut-Friendly: Greek yogurt is a natural source of probiotics, beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy gut. These probiotics can aid digestion, improve gut health, and support a strong immune system.
Bone Health: Calcium, an essential mineral for strong bones, is abundant in Greek yogurt. By incorporating it into the dough, you’re contributing to the overall calcium intake, which is crucial for maintaining healthy bones and preventing osteoporosis.
Nutrient Boost: Greek yogurt contains vitamins like B12, which is vital for energy production and brain function. It also provides essential nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium.
Low in Fat: Opting for low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt helps keep the overall fat content of the dough in check, making it a healthier option for those conscious about their fat intake.
Blood Sugar Regulation: The combination of protein and carbohydrates in Greek yogurt can contribute to better blood sugar control, which is especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar levels.
