Easy High Protein Pizza Recipe
This easy and tasty protein pizza cooks up quickly because my recipe uses no yeast. Every night can be pizza night!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) self-rising flour OR 1 cup regular flour +1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt (plus extra for rolling dough)
- 3/4 cup (170g) nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup (60g) pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 cup (56g) mozzarella cheese (I used low fat skim milk mozzarella)
- 16 each (28g) turkey pepperoni slices
- red pepper flakes and oregano, optional as garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a bowl, mix together self-rising flour with salt and garlic powder. (Or if needed, make your own self-rising flour by mixing together 1 cup flour with 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt before following the rest of the instructions).
- Add nonfat Greek yogurt to your flour mixture.
- Stir together until a shaggy dough forms and then using your hands, form into a ball.
- Continue to knead for 2 minutes or until dough is soft and smooth. PLEASE NOTE: Because different brands of flour and Greek yogurt can vary, feel free to add in additional flour or yogurt to get the dough soft and smooth if needed, one tablespoon at a time.
- Sprinkle your ball of dough and your rolling surface lightly with flour.
- Roll out dough to desired thinness. I prefer a medium thickness that's not too thin or too thick, so my pizza was rolled out to a 10-inch diameter.
- Spread a layer of sauce to your dough, leaving a 1/4 inch plain around the edges.
- Top with mozzarella cheese.
- Add sliced turkey pepperoni, along with any other desired toppings.
- Optional: I like to sprinkle my pizza with oregano and red pepper flakes.
- Bake in oven preheated to 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
