● ⅓ cup plain fat free Greek yogurt

Two-Ingredient Dough Pizzas
Serves: 4 | SmartPoints Per Serving: 6 (with turkey pepperoni)

Ingredients:

● 1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
● 1 cup white self-rising flour
● 1 cup canned tomato sauce
● ¾ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
● 20 piece(s) small, thinly sliced turkey pepperoni (optional)
● 4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
● 2 Tbsp basil, slivered
● 4 pinch crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

Instructions:

● Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
● Place yogurt and flour in a large bowl; stir well with a wooden spoon until just combined and then keep mixing dough in bowl with your hands until smooth (about 2 minutes of kneading). If dough is too sticky to knead, add more flour, 1 Tbsp at a time, until no longer sticky.
● Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and sprinkle with a little flour; place dough on paper. Use a knife to cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece of dough into a 6-7 inch oval. Place on prepared baking sheet; bake until dough is beginning to turn lightly golden, about 18 minutes.
● Remove from oven and top each with ¼ c sauce, 3 Tbsp mozzarella cheese and 5 pieces pepperoni (or fresh vegetables of your choice). Return to oven and bake a few more minutes until dough is cooked through and cheese is melted.
● Serve each sprinkled with 1 Tbsp Parmesan, 1/2 Tbsp basil and a pinch red pepper flakes.
