How to make Protein Pizza:

Protein Pizza Dough: Mix flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and salt in a bowl. Stir Greek yogurt into flour mixture then mix well, to form a dough. Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter then dust lightly with flour. Using well-floured hands, scoop dough onto parchment, then roll into a 14-inch circle, dusting the top with flour to keep it from sticking.

Delicious! My pizza connoisseur husband loved it! It was super easy to make, and I love the added protein. Very filling. I did 10 mins for the first bake and 12 mins for the second bake, and it came out perfect! This will be my new go to pizza dough recipe. Thanks for yet another amazing recipe!
