In this pizza inspired by the classic Greek meal, creamy yogurt with dill and garlic stands in for tomato sauce, while a lightly browned phyllo topping adds both crispiness and flavor. Use the pizza crust of your choicewe like Banzas chickpea crust, which comes in packs of two smaller crusts. If your crust is less than 12 inches, divide the toppings evenly between two crusts and follow the directions as listed. The phyllo dough, though optional here, adds a nice texture and crunch, so dont skip it. We like a whole wheat or spelt version if you can find it, but regular also works well.
