“This pizza recipe features a wholemeal, Greek yogurt dough that is packed with protein, making it a really satisfying meal,” says Bale. “The pizza sauce is also simple to make yourself. I prefer using tinned cherry tomatoes for some recipes as I find them sweeter and much more flavourful.”.
Makes: 1 large pizza. Ingredients:. For the dough:. 300g Greek yoghurt. 135g self-raising flour. 135g wholemeal flour. 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda. ½ tsp dried oregano. ½ tsp garlic granules. Pinch of salt. 1 tbsp olive oil. For the pizza sauce:. 200g tinned cherry tomatoes. 2 tbsp tomato paste.
½ tsp Italian herbs. ½ tsp chilli flakes. Salt and black pepper. For the toppings:. 1-2 balls of mozzarella, sliced. Handful of cherry vine tomatoes, sliced. Chopped basil. Method:. 1. Preheat the oven to 180C. 2. Put the Greek yogurt, self-raising and wholemeal flours, bicarbonate of soda, oregano, garlic granules and salt in a bowl and mix gently until they are combined.
3. Roll the ball out into a thin circle around one centimetre thick and then use your fingers to form a crust around the edge. You may need to use some flour to stop it sticking to the surface. 4. Transfer to a large baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and bake for 10-12 minutes.
