Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Protein Pizza Crust: Mix flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt in a bowl. Stir Greek yogurt into flour mixture and mix well, to form a dough. Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter and dust lightly with flour. Using well-floured hands, scoop dough onto parchment and roll into a 14-inch circle, dusting the top with flour to keep it from sticking.
- Pre-bake crust: Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or large baking sheet and pre-bake dough for 8 minutes.
- Add toppings and bake: Remove from oven then add sauce and toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
