Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour or all-purpose flour with baking powder To make self-rising flour, combine 1 cup flour with 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt.
- 3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano For added flavor in the dough.
Pizza Topping Ingredients
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes Optional, for extra heat.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sea salt, and dried oregano. If using all-purpose flour, mix in baking powder as well.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt until a sticky dough forms. If the dough seems too wet, gradually add a little more flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3 minutes until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the turkey pepperoni slices. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is lightly golden.
Notes
Serve hot with a side salad for a balanced meal.
