Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt until well mixed. Gradually fold in Greek yogurt to form a shaggy dough and knead until smooth.
  3. Divide dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into an oval shape, about 6 inches long.
  4. Take one dough oval, spoon about 15g of pizza sauce on one half, and add 20g of cheese, leaving a ½-inch border.
  5. Fold the dough over to seal the filling, crimp the edges with a fork, and dampen edges if needed to keep the filling contained.
  6. Place on the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
