Ingredients:

For the Pizza Dough (makes 4 servings):

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt

For the Toppings (per serving):

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce (check for a low-sugar option)
  • 1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Sliced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
  • Sliced turkey pepperoni (optional)
  • Italian seasoning
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

For the Pizza Dough:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and plain, non-fat Greek yogurt.
  2. Mix until a dough forms. Knead it for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Each portion will be used to make one 7-inch pizza bowl.

For Each 7-Inch Pizza Bowl:

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, preheat it as well.
  2. Roll out one portion of the pizza dough into a 7-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Use your hands to shape it into a bowl-like form with a raised edge, creating a crust.
  3. Place the shaped dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Add your choice of sliced vegetables and turkey pepperoni (if using) over the cheese.
  7. Season with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if desired).
  8. Carefully transfer the pizza bowl to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil if desired.

WW Points (Approximate per Serving):
