🛒 Ingredients

🥖 High-Protein Pizza Dough

Instead of traditional dough, we boost protein.

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (thick)
  • 1½ cups self-rising flour
    (or 1½ cups all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt)
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate (optional but boosts protein)

This creates a 2-ingredient protein dough base.

🧀 Filling

  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese sticks (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 24–28 pepperoni slices (optional)
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella (extra filling boost)

🧈 Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan

🍅 For Dipping

  • 1 cup low-sugar marinara sauce

👩‍🍳 Step-By-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Dough

In a bowl mix:

Greek yogurt + flour + protein powder.

Stir until dough forms.

Knead lightly on floured surface 2–3 minutes until smooth.

If sticky → add 1 tbsp flour at a time.
If too dry → add 1 tbsp yogurt.

2️⃣ Roll & Cut

Roll dough to about ¼ inch thickness.

Cut into 2×2 inch squares.

3️⃣ Fill

Place:

  • 1 mozzarella piece
  • 1 pepperoni slice

in the center of each square.

Fold corners up and pinch tightly to seal.

Roll gently into a ball.

Place seam-side down on lined baking sheet.

4️⃣ Bake

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake 15–18 minutes until golden brown.

5️⃣ Garlic Butter Finish

Brush tops with melted garlic butter.

Sprinkle Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
