Ingredients, Substitutes, and Equipment.

Ingredients

Self-raising flour: makes the base of the pizza dough. You can substitute with whole wheat, all-purpose flour, or non-gluten flour. Self-raising flour contains a baking powder that acts as the leavening agent in this recipe that makes the dough rise.

Greek yogurt: moisturizes the pizza dough. Greek yogurt is acidic, it reacts with the baking powder in the flour that releases carbon dioxide into the dough. Gluten traps the gas making the pizza dough airy and light. You can substitute greek yogurt with nonfat greek yogurt if you are seriously counting calories.

Salt: adds flavor to the pizza dough.

Equipment

Mixing bowls

Round mixing bowls are great, especially if you’re using your hand to prepare the dough.

Wooden spoon

A wooden spoon is useful in bringing together the wet and dry ingredients before you start using your hands.

Parchment paper

Parchment paper is used to line the pizza pan where you intend to bake the pizza. Any cheese spills will flow to the parchment leaving your pan clean.

Rolling pin

I have seen some chefs spreading their pizza dough with their fingertips, it is still alright to use a rolling pin.

Stand mixer with dough hook (if making a large batch)

This appliance will come in handy when you’re making large batches of pizza dough. The dough hook mixes effectively, activating the gluten in the dough.

Pizza pans

There are many types of pans, made out of non-stick Teflon, cast iron, and even clay. Since I am home and do not have a large pizza oven, regular rectangular baking pans worked best for me.
