Like many people who are suckers for things that sound too good to be true, I eagerly tried "2-ingredient pizza dough" when it first went viral years ago. I knew it wasn't going to be anything close to real thin-crust pizza, and I was right. But, I did like how the tanginess of the yogurt simulated the fermented acidity of real, yeast-risen dough, and I decided to try and rework the basic idea to make it closer to the good stuff. Just not right away.  

I basically forgot about this very worthy quest for years, until seeing a friend tweet about "2-ingredient pizza dough" a few weeks ago. So, I started playing around, and I discovered that by adding just a few more ingredients, I could produce a dough that seemed much more pizza-like, but still only took about 10 minutes to mix up. 

The keys here are to make sure you roll your dough nice and thin, don't weigh it down with too much sauce and toppings, and most importantly, bake it until the bottom is well browned. If you can manage those things, you'll be enjoying something that even the biggest pizza snob will like. They won't admit it, but they will. Which is why I really do hope you give this a try soon.

  • Mix 2 cups self-rising flour, sugar, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for dough in a bowl until well combined. Add olive oil and Greek yogurt and mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Clean off the spoon and mix the dough with your hands until it mostly comes together.

  • Transfer dough to a work surface and continue pushing it together until it smooths out. It will be dry; don't be tempted yet to add more liquid. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, 3 to 4 minutes, only adding a teaspoon or two of water or flour if absolutely necessary. Cut dough into two equal pieces.

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle 1 tablespoon cornmeal over the surface.

  • Roll one piece dough on a lightly floured surface to an 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

  • Top dough with ½ of the pizza sauce, spreading it almost, but not quite all the way, to the edges. Sprinkle ½ of the mozzarella over the sauce, then ½ of the Parmigiano-Reggiano over top. Arrange ½ of the pepperoni slices over the cheese, then drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over top.

  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until crust is beautifully browned and toppings are bubbly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

  • As soon as you remove the pizza from the oven, repeat Steps 3 to 6 to top and bake second pizza.
