Ingredients

Single Serving Macros (1 slice):

  • 224 calories
  • 7g fat
  • 26g carbs
  • 14g protein

Dough:

  • ½ cup (120ml) water, heated to 90°F (32°C)
  • 2 tsp (8g) instant yeast 
  • 1 cup (240ml) nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1.25 cups (150g) “00” tipo flour (or all purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp (8g) fine sea salt

Sauce:

  • 28 oz (790g) can whole peeled san marzano tomatoes, tomatoes only (not crushed)
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled 
  • 1 Tbsp (15g) extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

  • 2 cups (180g) skim milk low moisture mozzarella 
  • 6 oz (170g) sausage from the breakfast burrito recipe

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together water and yeast and once combined add to a bowl of yogurt. Whisk gently to combine.  
  2. Put flour into a large bowl and add sea salt, mix until combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix with your hand until it forms a shaggy dough. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic dough, about 3-5 minutes. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, temperature-controlled area for one hour, or refrigerate overnight. 
  3. For the sauce, add only the tomatoes from a can of peeled tomatoes into a food processor followed by garlic, and olive oil. Season with salt to taste and blend until as smooth as possible.
  4. Using your hands, press out dough into a circle shape as wide as it can go, around 12-15”.
  5. Spread sauce on dough followed by most of the mozzarella and all of the sausage. Top with remainder of mozzarella.
  6. Cook the pizza in an outdoor pizza oven at 650°F for 4-5 minutes. If you’re using a home oven, place a baking steel or pizza stone in the lower third of your oven and preheat at your oven’s highest temperature for 60 minutes. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Cut pizza into 8” pieces.
