This Two Ingredient Dough Calzones recipe is an easy, family-friendly meal. Just make the dough and let everyone add their favorite fillings!
One of my family’s favorite meals is pizza, especially the guys in the family. We enjoy it in all sorts of forms, from grilled pizza and pizza balls to stromboli and pizza sticks.
These two-ingredient dough calzones are another way of enjoying pizza, but instead of a flat slice, it is folded up into a delicious pocket.
How To Make
Put the self-rising flour and plain, fat-free Greek yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the attachment meant for mixing dough.
Mix at a low speed until combined. Then, knead at medium speed for about 3 minutes. After three minutes, a ball of dough should’ve formed.
If your dough is too sticky or wet, knead in a little more flour at a time until it is workable. That being said, this dough tends to be a stickier dough. I just sprinkle a little flour on it if it sticks to my fingers and continue shaping it.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and sprinkle with additional flour. Knead the dough a couple of times and form it into a log. Cut the log of dough into six slices.
Top with pizza sauce, slices of pepperoni, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the empty half of the dough up over the filling.
Filling Ideas
The great thing about calzones is that you can add any fillings you like! Think about your favorite pizza toppings and use those. Try sausage, Canadian bacon, chicken, black olives, peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Then, fold up the edges of the dough and press to seal. Transfer the two ingredient dough calzones to a baking sheet and brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle them with grated parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning.
Bake the calzones until golden brown.
But WAIT…I count MORE than two ingredients
Yes, this recipe has several ingredients, but the DOUGH is made with only two ingredients: self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. To simplify the title of the recipe, it is called: TWO INGREDIENT DOUGH Calzones. Meaning calzones made with two ingredient dough.

Two Ingredient Dough Calzones
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 6 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 30 slices pepperoni
- 6 tablespoons shredded mozzarella
- 1 egg white beaten
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Put the self-rising flour (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons) and plain, fat-free Greek yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.
- NOTE: Using other kinds of flour and Greek yogurt will alter your results. The recipe will still work but you’ll have to make adjustments in measurements, kneading time, and baking time.
- Mix at a low speed until combined. Then, knead at medium speed for about 3 minutes. At this point, a ball of dough should be formed in the mixing bowl. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle the top with flour, knead a couple of times, and form the dough into a log. Cut the dough log into six pieces.
- Flatten each piece into an oval. Spread pizza sauce over half of each oval. Top each one with 5 slices of pepperoni, a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
- Fold the empty half of the dough over to cover the filling. Then, fold the edges over and press to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with beaten egg whites. Sprinkle with parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt.
- Bake at 375˚F for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.

Hi, we made this dough for Strombolis and it was great!
Btw, the “jump to recipe” button is not working on this particular post. Just letting you know. 🙂

I absolutely love the 2 ingredient dough…so much easier than waiting for traditional dough to rise!! When I make pizzas with it, I add garlic and onion granules and dried oregano and basil to the flour before I start mixing…takes the edge off the ever so slightly yoghurty flavour….yum!

Can these be frozen? Is it better to freeze before baking, partly baked or after baking?
Thanks
