Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, nutritional yeast, garlic salt, and Greek yogurt.
3
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead briefly into a smooth ball.
4
Lightly flour a work surface. Place the dough on the surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out as thinly as possible into a large circle.
5
Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Arrange the cut mozzarella stick pieces around the edge of the dough circle.
6
Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and press to seal, forming the stuffed crust.
7
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base. Sprinkle with the fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese, then arrange the turkey pepperoni slices on top.
8
Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the entire pizza, including the crust.
9
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10
Remove from the oven, garnish with dried parsley if desired, slice, and serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Stuff the crust edge evenly: divide string cheese pieces around the perimeter before folding the dough edge over to seal, so every bite has cheese.
Don't overwork the Greek yogurt dough. Mix just until combined; overworking makes it tough. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Pat the dough onto the pan with lightly floured hands rather than stretching it, which can tear and release air bubbles.
Precook the crust for 3–4 minutes before adding toppings to prevent a soggy center while the stuffed edge sets.

Substitutions

Plain Greek yogurt → non-fat plain Greek yogurt (no change to nutrition or texture)
Turkey pepperoni → regular pepperoni or Canadian bacon (adds ~20 calories and 2g fat per slice)
Nutritional yeast → grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons (adds similar umami, slight texture change)
Tomato sauce → pizza sauce or marinara (may increase sodium slightly)
