Ingredients

Dough
  • 1 cup self rising flour OR 1 cup all purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup plain full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt plus 1-2 Tablespoons if needed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings
  • ⅓ cup Pizza Sauce
  • ¾ cup ground chicken or turkey sausage cooked
  • ⅓ cup yellow onion
  • ⅓ cup bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella loosely packed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. If you don’t have self rising flour, make your own by combining flour with baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add greek yogurt and additional salt to flour and stir to combine until a dough starts to form. If the dough is too thick, add more yogurt, 1 Tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too thin, add a sprinkle more of flour.
  3. Use your hands to shape the dough into a smooth ball and all the dry flour is gone. This took about 2-3 minutes. Cover dough ball completely in flour (this will prevent it from sticking to the counter or roller).
  4. Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle shape using a rolling pin or smooth bottle, until it’s about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Carefully transfer dough using hands or spatula to a baking dish or pizza stone that is lightly floured. Add sauce and spread over dough evenly, leaving at least ¼ inch space around the edges.
  6. Sprinkle cooked ground turkey sausage, onion and red bell pepper evenly over pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake pizza for about 20 minutes until cheese is browned and bubbly and crust is golden brown, rotating pan once halfway through.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
