- Key Weight Watchers Benefit: This crust is high in protein thanks to the Greek yogurt, making this a satisfying and macro-friendly meal that keeps you full for hours.
Ingredients Needed
For the 2-Ingredient Dough (makes 2 individual pizzas)
- 1 cup Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt (0%)
- 1 cup Self-Rising Flour (plus extra for kneading)
Tip: Don’t have self-rising flour? Use 1 cup all-purpose flour + $1\frac{1}{2}$ tsp baking powder + $\frac{1}{2}$ tsp salt.
For the Toppings
- $\frac{1}{2}$ cup Low-Fat Marinara or Pizza Sauce (check labels for low-sugar/low-point options)
- $\frac{3}{4}$ cup Part-Skim Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 10-12 slices Thin-Sliced Turkey Pepperoni
- $\frac{1}{2}$ tsp Dried Italian Seasoning (optional)
How to Make Our Weight Watchers Pizza
- Prep the Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine & Knead: In a large bowl, stir the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 3-5 minutes until it forms a smooth, non-sticky ball.
- Shape the Crust: Divide the dough ball in half. Roll or press each half into a thin 6 to 8-inch circle (or desired shape) right on the prepared baking sheet. Keep the crust relatively thin to ensure it cooks all the way through!
- Pre-Bake: For a crispier crust, bake the bare dough for 5 minutes. This step helps it stay firm under the sauce.
- Load the Toppings: Remove the crusts from the oven. Spread 1/4 cup of sauce onto each crust, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce, followed by 5-6 slices of turkey pepperoni on each pizza.
- Final Bake: Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning before serving.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
This recipe is perfect for portion control and batch cooking!
- Storing: Allow any leftover pizza to cool completely before placing slices in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: The best way to reheat pizza is in a toaster oven or on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore the crispy crust. Microwaving is discouraged, as it can make the crust rubbery.
- Freezing: This recipe is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can freeze the pre-baked dough balls wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before rolling and topping.
- Serving Pairings: Pair your 6-point pizza with a generous zero-point side salad (mixed greens, cucumber, tomato) tossed with a low-point vinaigrette for a complete, satisfying dinner.
Tips & FAQs
Q: Can I use different toppings and keep the same points value?
A: You can! Most non-starchy vegetables are zero points on the Weight Watchers plan (onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach). You can load up on veggies without impacting the 6-point value. Be careful with high-fat toppings like olives or regular cheese, as these will increase the points.
Q: What is the best substitution for the self-rising flour?
A: If you only have all-purpose flour, you can easily make your own self-rising flour (see the Ingredient Notes). Other low-point crust options include Joseph’s pita bread or a low-carb tortilla, but the 2-ingredient dough provides the best traditional pizza texture and volume.
Q: Why is my 2-ingredient dough sticky?
A: Greek yogurt brands can vary in thickness. If your dough is too sticky, simply add one tablespoon of extra flour at a time while kneading until it is smooth and no longer adhering to your hands.
Q: Is this a good recipe for meal prep?
A: Absolutely! This is one of the best easy meal prep ideas. You can make the two pizzas ahead of time and store them (see storage notes), or you can batch-make a large portion of the 2-ingredient dough and freeze it for quick, future pizza nights!
