Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl
non-stick cooking spray

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (68g)
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (170g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese (56g)
16 slices turkey pepperoni (28g)
1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Add flour, yogurt, salt, and garlic powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until ingredients form into a dough.
Spray two pieces of parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray. Place dough between both of these pieces.
Run your hands over the top layer of parchment paper and spread the dough out to form a crust. Avoid making the crust too thin, as it will break.
Hold the bottom piece of parchment paper and transfer the crust to a baking sheet. Then remove the top layer of parchment paper and discard.
Place the crust in the oven and cook for 5 minutes at 425° F. When finished, remove from oven and add marinara, cheese, turkey pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
Put the pizza back in the oven for 6-7 minutes, or until crust reaches desired crispiness. Allow the pizza to cool before removing the bottom the layer of parchment paper.

Notes

This recipe is meant to resemble a traditional pepperoni pizza. But you can really use whatever toppings you like!

The dough is more delicate compared to traditional pizza dough. Greek yogurt adds weight and makes it heavier. Be careful not to spread too thin when forming a crust.

You also might find the dough to be sticky when handling. It's much easier to spray two sheets of non-stick cooking spray to roll out the crust.
