DO This
Most of us Zimbabweans enjoy eating pizza. Although it’s definitely not in our Zimbabwean cuisine, we’ve embraced it and don’t mind having some. Now this here quick and easy method to make pizza dough I got from a lovely lady from an online women’s food group. I thought I’d give it a go and see how it turns out and it was pretty easy. If you want the traditional way of making pizza dough click here. The general rule of thumb is equal parts flour to equal part yoghurt. So it’s up to you what measurements you’d like to put. The measurements I used here produced one heavy based medium pizza and one thin crusted small pizza.
Quick Instructions
- Measure your flour (300g self-raising flour) and natural yoghurt (300g natural/ Greek yoghurt). Sift flour into a bowl, make a well in the middle and pour the yoghurt.
- Mix until well combined and a sticky dough forms. Transform dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for a good 10 minutes, until dough is nice and smooth. (You may add bits of flour along the way if dough is sticking to hands during the kneading process) And you’re done!!

rumbie, tell me something, i used aloe vera yoghurt didnt have greek and plain flour, ndabika mbodza yedough and am thinking stick to the yeast one…. what really went wrong??
Hi Concillia, thanks for the feedback. Normally, what I do when preparing a recipe for the first time, I follow everything to the tee and see how it comes out. Then next time I can experiment, “remove this, add that, use this” that kind of thing. So try follow the recipe as it is. Try and look for natural/ plain/ Greek yoghurt and use Self-raising flour not plain flour. I hope this helps. Try again… you’ll love it when it comes out right 😉
thanx rumbie
It’s a pleasure dear 🙂
hi. Do we use hands when kneading? that seems to be the hardest part for me. any other way, apart from using hands?
Hi Irene, yes we use hands 🙂 Unless if you have a breadmaker and you want it to do the kneading for you. However, kneading is not that bad, the more you practice the more you’ll get the hang of it.
