Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- baking tray
- parchment paper
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 120 g pizza sauce (divided among pockets)
- 160 g low-fat mozzarella cheese (divided among pockets)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Fold in Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 8 equal portions and roll each into a 6-inch oval of even thickness.
- Add pizza sauce and mozzarella to one half of each oval, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Fold dough over filling and press edges firmly to seal. Crimp with a fork to secure.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks during baking. Seal edges firmly with a fork and a light dab of water if needed. Let the dough rest 10 minutes before rolling for easier handling. Roll thinner for crispier pockets and thicker for softer texture.
