Ingredients

Protein Pizza Dough

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Italian herbs
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt

Margherita Protein Pizza

1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1/3 cup light mozzarella cheese
sliced tomatoes
fresh chopped basil

Barbecue Chicken Protein Pizza

1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
2-3 ounces chopped fully cooked chicken breast
1-2 tablespoons sliced red onion
1/3 cup light mozzarella cheese
red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Make self-rising flour by combining the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Also, add the Italian herbs and garlic powder. Mix these ingredients in a bowl.
Combine the Greek yogurt with the flour mixture in the bowl.
Mix and then use your hands to knead the dough. It will take about 3 minutes to knead and combine the dough. The dough may seem dry at first, but keep kneading until it comes together.
Roll the dough into a ball. Sprinkle flour over the dough ball before rolling it so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin or counter.
Place the dough ball on a clean lightly floured work surface. Roll the pizza dough into a thin, even layer with a rolling pin.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to a baking sheet with parchment paper or a pizza pan.
Evenly spread the sauce and leave some room around the edges of the dough. Then, sprinkle the cheese on top and add your toppings.
Bake the pizza at 425°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is crispy and cooked through and the cheese is melted. Then, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it. After that, add optional toppings such as fresh chopped basil or crushed red pepper flakes, and enjoy!

Notes

Flour: If you have self-rising flour, you can use that in place of the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. If not, use those ingredients to make self-rising flour.
Flavor: If you prefer a traditional pizza dough, omit the herbs and garlic from the dough.
Consistency of Dough: If the dough is too wet and sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. Or, if the dough is too dry, add about a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. However, don’t add anything to the dough until you have kneaded it long enough. The dough may seem crumbly or dry at first, but as you knead, it will come together.
Storage: Store leftover protein pizza in an airtight container or wrap it in tinfoil. Then, store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat it in the air fryer or oven so it gets crispy again.
