• All-Purpose Flour (400g)

• Baking Powder (2 Teaspoons)

• Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (410g)

• Italian Seasoning (1 Tablespoon)

• Garlic Powder (1 Tablespoon)

• Salt (1 Tablespoon)

• Homemade Pizza Sauce

• Shredded Mozzarella (To Taste)

• Sliced Pepperoni (To Taste)

STEPS:

• Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, Greek yogurt, and your favorite seasonings.

  • Mix the ingredients and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it forms a smooth ball.

• Shape the Dough:

  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

  • Roll each piece into a small circle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

• Add the Filling:

  • Place about 1½ teaspoons of homemade pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle.

  • Top with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese and a few slices of pepperoni.

• Seal the Pockets:

  • Carefully pinch all sides of the dough together to enclose the toppings and form a small ball.

  • Gently roll the sealed dough in your hands, then flatten it slightly to create a stuffed pizza patty.

• Rest the Pockets:

  • Set the stuffed pizza patties aside under plastic wrap while you repeat the process with the remaining dough pieces.

• Cook the Pizza Pockets:

  • Heat a medium-sized nonstick pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of avocado oil.

  • Place as many stuffed pizza pockets in the pan as will fit comfortably without touching, as they will expand slightly during cooking.

• Get Crispy:

  • Cook the pizza pockets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and warm on the inside.

  • Cover the pan while cooking and add more oil as needed for even browning.

• Finish and Store:

  • Once cooked, place the pizza pockets on a plate and cover with a paper towel to keep them warm while finishing the batch.

  • Serve immediately or wrap in aluminum foil for storage in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
