Description
A warm, satisfying twist on a classic convenience favorite made with whole wheat dough and Greek yogurt for extra protein and a tender crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken or turkey (diced)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour with 1 cup Greek yogurt; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 9×12 inches and 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- On one half of the dough, spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce, then sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese, followed by chicken, bell peppers, and seasonings.
- Fold the dough over the filling and press edges to seal, crimping with a fork.
- Make small slits on top for steam to escape and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a shinier crust, brush with olive oil or an egg wash before baking. Can be made vegetarian or vegan with substitutions.
