Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl combine all-purposes flour, Greek Yogurt, olive oil, baking powder and a pinch of sea salt. Quickly stir until it comes to form a dough: adjust with more flour if it is sticky or more Greek yogurt if it is too dry.
Transfer the Greek yogurt pizza dough over a clean floured surface and knead to form a soft dough ball.
With the aid of a rolling pin and your hands, shape into a round of about 15 cm (6-inch), with the edges thicker than the center, sprinkling more flour if it gets sticky.
Spread the pizza sauce over the Greek yogurt crust, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and pieces of ham.
Bake in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the pizza crust is golden brown.

Notes

For the homemade pizza sauce, combine tomato sauce with a drizzle olive oil, a pinch salt plus a hint of oregano, garlic powder, onion powder each (to taste).
