High Protein Cheese Pizza

• कुल समय: 18 minutes

सामग्री

90g (3/4 cup) all purpose flour

15g (2 Tbsp) vital wheat gluten* (found on Amazon or in baking section at grocery stores)

1 ½ Tbsp (22g) baking powder

1 tsp salt

Dash of Garlic powder and Basil

120g (1/2 cup) plain 2% Greek yogurt

this adds ~11g of protein to the dough, but also serves a functional purpose to add more chew/structure so the dough has a much better texture than typical Greek yogurt pizzas. If you can’t find it/don’t want to use it, add 15g extra all purpose flour. Be patient when rolling out the dough, the added gluten makes it stronger but it’s worth the effort

Toppings:

70g (2.5 oz) of crushed tomatoes**

70g (1/3 cup) blended cottage cheese

Large pinches of salt + Italian seasoning

50g (1/2 cup) 2% Mozzarella

10g (2 tsp) Parmigiano Reggiano

I used Bianco DiNapoli from Whole Foods - but you can also use San Marzano crushed tomatoes. Using just crushed/puréed tomatoes vs jarred marinara reduces calories significantly and still has fantastic flavor for a pizza (just be sure to generously add salt)

निर्देश

Bake dough at 450, 7-8 mins

Add toppings, bake again at 450 for 10-12 mins or until cheese is lightly browned
