Easy Protein Pizza
Made with 2-ingredient dough, this protein pizza with Greek yogurt and chicken is so easy to make and highly customizable. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy freshly baked high protein pizza at home.
Ingredients
For the dough
- 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour (160g)
- 3/4 cup whole milk plain Greek yogurt (180g), see note
For the pizza
- 1/2 cup favorite pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken (can also add sausage, pepperoni, beans, tofu)
- Toppings of choice (See above for suggestions. Can adjust the amount to your liking)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour and yogurt and mix using a spoon first then hands. At first, dough will seem dry and crumbly, but keep mixing until it forms into a ball.
- Once the dough comes together, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little extra flour as needed. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll the dough out to desired shape and thickness.
- Transfer the dough onto a greased or lined baking pan. Brush the crust with some olive oil. Spread pizza sauce on top, followed by cheese and other toppings of choice. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the edges of the crust begins to brown.
Notes
- If the pizza dough is too sticky, add extra flour, one tablespoon at a time. If it feels too dry, either add more yogurt or water, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s properly soft and pliable.
- Roll the dough out thinner if you desire a crispier crust. If pillowy, softer pizza crust is what you are after, don't roll it out too thin.
