Ingredients
  

  • 240 ml Low-fat Greek Yogurt Can use blended low-fat cottage cheese for additional protein.
  • 120 g All-Purpose Flour For a low-carb option, use almond flour mixed with coconut flour.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Ensure freshness by checking its expiration date for maximum rise.
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a bolder taste.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 15 g Pizza Sauce Can use homemade or store-bought sauce as a filling.
  • 20 g Low-fat Cheese Fat-free mozzarella can be used for a lighter option.

Equipment

  • Baking Tray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually fold in the low-fat Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into an oval, approximately 6 inches long.
  5. Place 15g of pizza sauce and 20g of low-fat cheese on one half of each dough oval, leaving a ½-inch border.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges with a fork, using water if needed.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let the pockets cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These pockets are best served warm and can be customized with different fillings to suit your taste.
