Who doesn’t love a delicious pizza? This yogurt pizza recipe brings a fresh twist to traditional pizza crusts, offering a fluffy texture and unmistakable flavor. The yogurt is the secret that transforms a simple dough into a true delicacy.

The history of pizza is fascinating, and despite being often associated with Italian cuisine, pizza has evolved over the centuries and has been adapted in countless ways around the world. In this recipe, we will combine simple ingredients to create a homemade pizza that can rival the best pizzerias.

Ingredients

*For the crust:*
- 1 egg
- 150 ml yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt for a creamier consistency)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 350 g flour
- 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil for a more intense flavor)
- ½ packet baking powder

*For the topping:*
- 150 g smoked pork tenderloin (or another type of smoked meat, such as ham)
- 50 g olives (preferably pitted for convenience)
- 4 slices of melted cheese (Apetito cheese, or any cheese that melts well)
- Univer ketchup (for serving)
- 1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation Instructions

1. Preparing the crust
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, beat the egg with the sugar and salt using a whisk or fork. Add the yogurt and oil, mixing well until everything is combined. This mixture will add moisture and make the crust fluffier.

2. Adding the dry ingredients
Sift the flour together with the baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to incorporate the ingredients, being careful not to overmix. You will get a slightly sticky dough, but don’t worry! It will become elastic and fluffy once baked.

3. Forming the crusts
Grease a 30 cm baking tray with a little oil. Transfer the dough to the tray and level it evenly using a spatula or your wet hands. Cover the entire surface of the tray so that the pizza is uniform.

4. Preparing the topping
Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Slice the olives into rounds and the smoked pork tenderloin into thin slices. Arrange the slices of tenderloin over the crust, distributed evenly, then add the sliced olives.

5. Baking the crust
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 30 minutes, until the crust becomes golden and fluffy.

6. Egg wash
While the pizza is in the oven, beat an egg with a little ketchup. After 30 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and brush the crust with the egg and ketchup mixture. This step will add a layer of moisture and delicious flavor.

7. Adding the cheese
Place the slices of melted cheese on top of the pizza, making sure to distribute them evenly. Put the pizza back in the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese melts nicely and becomes golden.

8. Serving
Once the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into portions and serve it warm, alongside ketchup for an extra burst of flavor.

Useful Tips
- If you want to add a personal touch, you can experiment with different types of cheese or add spices like oregano or basil to the dough for extra flavor.
- Don’t limit yourself to the pork tenderloin filling; you can use chicken, vegetables, or even seafood, depending on your preferences.
- To achieve an even fluffier crust, let the dough rest for 10 minutes before spreading it in the tray.

Nutritional Benefits
This yogurt pizza can be a healthier choice compared to traditional versions, thanks to the yogurt which provides protein and probiotics. Additionally, using olives and smoked pork tenderloin can add important vitamins and minerals.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use low-fat yogurt? Yes, but Greek yogurt adds a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- How can I make the pizza spicier? Add some slices of chili pepper or chili sauce to the filling.
- Can the pizza be frozen? Yes, I recommend freezing it before baking. You can bake it directly from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
