Easy Weeknight Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
240g Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
210g whole wheat flour (or a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. baking powder
15g (about 3.5 tsp.) olive oil
15g honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
60-80g water (as needed)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir until a dough starts to form.
Add olive oil and honey to the dough mixture and continue to mix until well combined.
If the dough is too dry, gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and no longer sticky.
Divide the dough into four equal portions for individual-sized pizzas, or leave it as is for a larger pizza.
Roll out each portion of dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Add your favorite healthy toppings such as tomato sauce, vegetables, lean proteins (chicken breast, turkey, tofu), and a sprinkle of low-fat cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked through.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve!
