1 tsp kosher salt reduce salt if not using kosher salt
butter cooking spray olive oil cooking spray works as well
For the Topping
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
5 slices center cut bacon cooked crispy and crumbled

1 tbs lemon juice

1/2 tsp kosher salt reduce salt if not using kosher salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl add self rising flour, kosher salt, and garlic powder. Quickly stir together.
Using a cheese grater, Grate 1.5 tablespoons of COLD butter into the flour mixture. Stir together well with a fork.
(Put butter in freezer for a few minutes before doing to ensure it is cold)
Add greek yogurt and stir with a wooden spoon until completely combined and there are no flour bits and pieces on the sides or bottom of mixing bowl. The dough will form a lump inside the bowl.

Sprinkle clean and smooth surface with a couple pinches of flour. Lay flour on it and knead the dough 25-30 times until it forms a nice smooth ball.
With a rolling pin, or preferably a pastry roller, roll out the dough little. Then, place onto a sheet pan that is lined with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to resemble a rectangle. It needs to be about 10x5 inches.

When dough is rolled out thin and evenly prick with a fork all over, but not hard enough to create holes in the dough. Spray with butter cooking spray. Place in oven and prebake for about 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top, place asparagus spears on top of that, then crumbled bacon, followed by the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Spray the top with a bit of butter cooking spray.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown on the edges and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Enjoy!
