Makes 4 servings | 4–6 points per serving (varies based on toppings and your specific WW plan)

✨ Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 cup self-rising flour (12 points)
• 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (0 points)

For the Sauce:

• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (0 points)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• Pinch of salt and pepper

For the Toppings:

• 1/2 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese (4 points)
• 10 turkey pepperoni slices (1 point)
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (0 points)
• 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (0 points)
• (Optional) sprinkle of red pepper flakes or fresh basil (0 points)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
   • Spray a 9-inch round or square baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until it forms a dough.
   • Knead lightly on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes, then press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish, creating a deep-dish effect.
3. Pre-Bake the Crust:
   • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until it just starts to set.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
   • Mix the tomato sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Assemble:
   • Spread the sauce over the partially baked crust.
   • Top with shredded mozzarella, turkey pepperoni, and veggies.
6. Bake:
   • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden.
7. Cool Slightly and Slice:
   • Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
   • Cut into 4 slices—each slice is a hearty serving!

✅ Tips:

🌿 Add extra veggies (onions, spinach, zucchini) for no additional points!
🧀 Swap cheese brands or use reduced-fat mozzarella to lower points even more.
🍕 For an even crispier crust, lightly brush with olive oil spray before baking (but that may add points).
