Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the toppings:
- 1/4 cup low-fat marinara or pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a thin pizza base.
- Pre-Bake the Crust:
- Place the crust on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese.
- Arrange spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning and chili flakes.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake:
- Bake the pizza for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the veggies are tender.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Pair with a side salad or enjoy on its own!
Tips for Success:
- Use a cauliflower crust for an even lower-calorie option.
- Add lean protein like grilled chicken or tofu for extra satiety.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
