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!
