Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a bowl, mix the self-raising flour and fat-free Greek yogurt until it forms a dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
Tip: If the dough is sticky, add a little extra flour, but avoid adding too much to keep it soft.
Step 2: Shape the Pizza Base
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll or press the dough into a thin pizza base (round or rectangular). For a crispier crust, keep it fairly thin.
Step 3: Pre-Bake the Base
Bake the plain base for 8–10 minutes until lightly firm but not fully browned. This step prevents a soggy pizza.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix passata with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly over the pre-baked base.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Sprinkle over the cheese, then add your chosen vegetables and lean protein toppings. Avoid overloading to keep the pizza crisp and low syn.
Step 6: Bake
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden.
Step 7: Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, slice, and enjoy immediately.
